Here I am

Hey girl hey! I'm Megan! Welcome to my world. I'm a lot. So many words to describe me so here goes: mom, plus size, travel, introvert, anxiety, depression, god fearing, funny, co-parent, single, independent, strong minded, stubborn. The list goes on but these are a few words that best describe me. But I'm more than any one of these words.

A mom of a 3 year old. Her father and I co-parent. So far i think we've been successful. We're still new and always learning. I've recently started to understand that I mom differently that he dads. And you know what? That's ok. She is still taken care of. It is not in my control to 'make' him do the things I do or do them the way I do them. At one point I would say it's easier said than done to relinquish this control. But letting go is in my control. And I am letting trying to have everything my way go. As long as my daughter is good, I'm good too.

I've been plus size as long as I can remember. I love fashion and different styles. But, I am a creature of habit and gravitate toward comfort over anything. I am realizing that a cute outfit and a little makeup every day drastically changes my mood. So I am working to be intentional on dressing to make me feel better. If I dress frumpy I tend to feel frumpy. And there are too many cute plus size clothes out there to be frumpy.

I've struggled since my teens with depression. I've been on and off many different medications, seeing multiple professionals therapists and doctors. All are helpful tools. But at the end of the day I have to change my mindset too. I'd like to be more open about this because this impacts a lot of people. Just know you are not alone in this. I know I'm not the only one going through some of these struggles. I hope that my openness will help someone look at things with a different perspective and help to pull them to a more positive direction.

Travel. I would love to travel the world. I hope to during my life time. I've decided and am committed to traveling more in 2020 and beyond. Solo, with my daughter, and hopefully with my family. Stay tuned for my adventures and experiences.

Thank you for entering my world. Feel free to engage with me! I look forward to meeting you.
