hello, love.
I’m new here on Tumblr. I have always just blogged on myspace so this will be a new adventure. A few things to know about me in case you care, which you probably don’t. ;)
— My name is Meghan. With an H. Most people call me Meg or Meggers.
—I’m an aspiring journalist in my last year of college. If I could work anywhere it would be for CNN but I know that I have a tough road ahead of me if I want to make it there. I’m okay with any changes in the roads along the way; I just want to write. I dream in words. Words are truly my passion.
—I recently decided to become a vegetarian. It’s been two weeks without meat. And I suppose I will share my challenges with this along the way…it’s probably gonna be tough considering I’m allergic to SOY! Whooooooo. I made this decision after visiting meetyourmeat.com or something of the like. I am utterly disgusted with the way animals are treated in this world. Protecting life in this country, including animals is not seen as priority and that brings tears to my eyes. If you are a meat eater, I will not give you a lecture, I decided to do this to me because I could not be certain that my meat was safe from hormones or whether my meat came from an sick or nearly dead animal just prior to slaughter. Killing is never humane, but if there were slaughterhouses that didn’t torture and maim animals for grins & giggles I would be more apt to eat some meat. Possibly. But considering the amazingness I have felt in my body since my switch, I don’t know that I will ever go back.
—I’m love God…I am a Christian and when I say that I don’t claim to be better than anyone else…I’ve met “those Christians” and don’t think that is ever how Jesus intended his followers to be. They forget the most important element in this nitty-gritty life we lead— LOVE. Simply LOVE. Love in the most tangible and visual ways…loving people who spit in your face and talk behind your back. Loving people who have absolutely nothing to offer you but a smile and a warm embrace.
—I want to feed the hungry children. I sound like an Angelina Jolie humanitarian ready to adopt by the thousands right now…but this is my heart. Take it or leave it. But I hope you take it. I want to go serve the poorest of the words by working in an AIDS orphanage in Africa for a few weeks next fall. A smile from a child who has nothing to smile about aside from the fact that they still have breath in their lungs brings tears to my eyes every time. I wish I had a heart that grateful…
—This sums my life up in the Cliff’s Notes Version. Email me at browneyedgirlmeg@gmail.com if you have questions. Direct hatemail to my secretary. Bwahahhaa. :)
