i think it’s brave: to take the first step.

hi! I’m Meighan (mee-gen) for anyone who doesn’t know that already, but my friends and family call me Meigs (meegs). From a young age, I have written and never shared. This includes fictional stories, diary entries, secret Tumblr accounts, post-therapy downloads, and lots of unsent letters. The few times I did share though, were pretty magical. I got accepted into my high school literary magazine, admitted in a personal essay my extreme fear of failure, and most recently I had some wonderful DM conversations over the Isolation Journals. All of those times, I was brave; and the outcome, though sometimes involving difficult emotions and a massive amount of vulnerability, was almost always a good one.

i think it’s brave: will be my own musings, hot takes, funny stories, book recommendations, feelings and emotions. It will be a place that ebbs and flows as my life does, but it will always include something I recently found brave. Big or small, this newsletter will find courage everywhere, which I hope inspires you to do as well.

In an ideal world, I get to ask people who I look up to about something brave they’ve done that week, year, or even in their lifetime. Please hold me to this.

But for now, let me know all the brave stuff you’re doing too in the comments, or shoot it straight to my inbox. I’m so happy you’re here.
