As a young adult seeking to make a name for myself in the creative industry (an ever-blooming market), I always want to seek out and promote others in my field. And I’d like to introduce you to a very talented … Continue reading Life Through the Eyes of Megan Sunderland
Today is July 16th, and there is almost exactly one month left before my 19th summer draws to a close. I’ve had an up and down summer, with pretty sky high moments and my fair share of bottom-of-the ocean lows. … Continue reading Life & Blog Update
I am drawing this series to a close with a few remarks. This is a time of transitioning for me. I am in between learning how to let go of being a teenager and accepting what it means to live … Continue reading R&F: Endings to Beginnings
Reflection: This was a fun, quick, and directly to the point post, a strange read in the middle of July. I am proud of this piece, because one of the best things about being a writer (or anyone with creative power) is to sprinkle shade into your work. There’s a reason people journal for therapy, and I’ve always looked at this blog as a journal of sorts and this was just one of my many diss tracks on the album. Anyone who’s wronged me ends up as my inspiration. Looking back now, this post was not about the weather at … Continue reading R&F: Knocked Out Cold
Reflection: Nothing has changed about the will to improve my writing. I genuinely have always sought out ways to enhance my practice, and this post has inspired me to continue with the journal prompts, because we all need a little … Continue reading R&F: Journal Writing Prompt #151
Reflection: In this (rare) time of my life, I can remember not caring about too much. I didn’t care about the way I looked, sometimes felt, or about what I was doing with my life. I miss this feeling often, but I know how important it is to grow up and seek direction. I was content with who I was and what I was doing, and I hadn’t been diagnosed with cold urticaria or seasonal affective disorder yet. I admire the strength I carried with me, and my use of metaphors and imagery (“a hot knife cutting through butter”- that’s … Continue reading R&F: Stray Snowballs
Everything around me is bright green, a healthy green. It may be due to the past 3+ days of rain and gray clouds hiding the sun, (which promises to come back eventually with each passing summer day). That’s something that … Continue reading Reflect and Flourish: A Series
You don’t have to listen to country music to know who Carrie Underwood is. She’s a gorgeous blonde singer known for her girl power and bombshell voice. She talks about getting revenge on cheating boyfriends and being an all-American girl. … Continue reading Temporary Home
Dear Future Child, Everyone functions differently. I’m sure you are aware at this point in your life that I’m a planner. I get it from my own mom and despite the “stress” it causes her and the family, according to my father, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Planning each month, each week, each day brings me comfort, security, and satisfaction that I’m doing something with my life, but I sometimes worry that I won’t ever get over this feeling of endless desire to reach the greater purpose of my life (and help you reach yours, of course). I’ll … Continue reading A Letter to My Future Child: Planning with Patience
I have been home for a few days now, and yet the boxes of miscellaneous papers, folders, and random clothing I’ve acquired are still sprinkled around the house. It’s great to be home and with my family and dogs and … Continue reading My First Year of College: Part II
