Short Life Summary:
- My name's Meg. I grew up in a small rural town in Indiana and spent the first 18 years of my life there with the same things and people day after day. I love my family more than anything and they love me even more than that. It was fine when I was young, but as I got older it mostly made me feel dead inside.
- Two months after graduating high school I said my goodbyes to all my friends and family, packed up my things and moved to Boston - Allston specifically, dragging my gay best friend Patrick (who I hardly speak to now) along with me. (Why Boston? Who Knows..?)
- Spent a couple years in Boston, tried going to school but quit after a year. Things were fine until all of a sudden they were unbearable. Picked up some ugly habits, was doing well in recovery, then relapsed, had a nervous breakdown on my 20th birthday and came home to Indiana.
- Less than a week later Aaron (my boyfriend) came to me. We decide to take off and backpack around until Phish tour starts in June and then do the whole run.
- Didn't make it very far at all. After a month of being stuck in Ohio and Kentucky and catching a little jail time in Cincinnati for nothing, he decides to call it quits and go home to Connecticut.
Cincinnati, OH
Lexington, KY
Columbus, OH
- So that brings us to now.. he's in New Haven and I'm here in Versailles. I wanted to be home for my little sister's high school graduation which is this weekend. I'm just here, doing absolutely nothing, trying not to go crazy killing time until then.
- I'm moving to Connecticut for the summer so we can save money. I love his mother but I'm not thrilled about living with her. I'm mostly scared about finding work there and her (and aaron's)reactions if it doesn't happen quickly.
- Our plan is to move to Pittsburgh in the fall since it's in the middle of our families.(We'll see if that happens..)
Our problem is we change our mind all the time about everything. He doesn't want to do Phish tour anymore, I think we're only gonna catch 6 or 7 shows on the East Coast. He'd rather save money for a home which is understandable, but where's the adventure in settling down? It gets frustrating, and scary and I need an outlet, so that's why I started this blog. I can share all of our joys and all of our many our horror stories.
I make a lot of self-destructive decisions with no regard for health or safety but I feel like if there's any time to do that, it's now while I'm still young enough to recover. This blog is going to be completely honest, it simply has to be. It's part a theraputic process for me that helps me put my life in perspective. I do meet a lot of really chill and have adventures with them fairly often and that's wicked cool. Now it's summer which means plenty of shows and festivals, so stay tuned for more stories.
