The most unique experience a woman will ever go through. A tiny human growing inside your tummy and taking over the organs. Constant peeing in the panties and vomiting after every meal. Gagging from the smell of butter garlic noodles and feeling disturbed from grilled salmon. Eating the entire bag of mixed Halloween chocolate candy. Hunched over in the shower struggling to shave. Restless legs while trying to sleep on your side. Windex and polish everything even when it’s already been cleaned. Crying alone in a room overwhelmed with negative thoughts. Lower back burning with fire and ankles swelling as you walk. Driving to the gynecologist office to pee into a cup and be asked the same questions from the week before. Blood draws, glucose tests, specialists, stress. Sometimes it feels as if nine months will be for the rest of your life.

For as long as I can remember, I have always felt different from other humans, as if there’s something wrong with me. There are many days I question my existence and think about what could possibly be my purpose on this planet. As I sit on the ground fondling with the grass, watching the sun set into darkness, I close my eyes and the tears escape.
Sometimes I wonder what I did wrong in life, was it something that I did in a previous life and I was paying for the consequences now? I wasn’t always the best type of person to be around when I was younger and I’ve made a tremendous amount of mistakes, some unforgivable to those I once loved. Now that I have children I try and do the right things and make the right decisions, for them and for myself, and yet I still feel like I am a failure at life.

Hiya, and welcome to my attempt at blogging! Let’s get right into the introduction and what this blog is going to be about.
My name is Meghan. I am 32 years old, I live in New Jersey, and I wear hats. What that means is that I have different roles/jobs in my everyday life. I thought it would be a cool idea to share what my life is like – things that I do now and what I used to do when I was free. “Free” meaning a time in my life where I didn’t have to be responsible, just wild.
About ten years ago at some random house party, I met a man who told me that I wear a lot of different hats. I wasn’t wearing a hat at the time, so I asked him, “What do you mean?” His response was “Have you never heard of this expression before?” Then he cracked open a Coors Light bottle and explained it to me.

Dumpster diving is probably one of the coolest hobbies that I have. It’s exciting, dirty, and the most important – everything is free! For the longest time, I would occasionally scroll through videos and come across people who have the balls to jump inside and out of the dumpsters. Sometimes it’s nothing inside and other times these people are pulling out bags and bags of thrown away items. I’ll be the first one to admit that I was very skeptical of this concept. It seems to easy to just walk up to a random dumpster, have a look inside, and pull up a huge white bag filled with snacks, chocolates, sweets…and not even spend a dollar.
