When I was a younger, I never liked "Megan", it didn't feel like it fit me. Whenever I went someplace new where people wouldn't have to know me for a long time, I tried out different names for myself to see what would fit, but nothing else really did. As an adult, I finally feel like Megan/Meg is right. I've come to appreciate the ways my friends have shaped it and made it their own little codeword for me, like Mego, Mango, even my username Meggle came from friends. I finally feel at home in Megan, it just took me a bit of time.

I loved it. Megh means clouds in my language and I feel like it really suits me. Too bad my parents changed my name when I was young... It's a rare name too!

I've had issues with my name, I never really liked or identified with it until recently. I think it's really pretty but idk it just never felt connected to me. Thankfully, it isn't my full first name, Amaya-mei, so online and for a chunk of my life I went by "Mei" and most people who've met me online still call me that.
Now, I've come to really like my own name, whether it's Amaya, Amaya-mei, or Mei. But I've also really enjoyed being called by the usernames that I choose. So Juniper, Cosmo, Meiji, etc. In the end go with what feels right for you! I've had sooo many names across the interwebs and they all feel like me. So I'd say go with what feels like you.

family name nothing too exciting (mom has the same middle name and so on) but my parents are very cute for naming me Megan and having my initials be M.E.G. (Megan Elizabeth G********)

After three, I say something like, "oh, wow" or if it's my partner, I jokingly say "stop it".

Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh and Girl On Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves by Sophie Gilbert.
I'm really enjoying both, despite how many times Girl On Girl punches me in the gut with lines like, "Movies in the aughts hated women."

Shows are impossible to go to, now. The entire Ticketmaster platform is filled with scalpers that TM choose to foster, rather than ensure that fans can see artists perform. (Yes, I'm salty because yet another performer's presale is on and tickets are "Verified Resale" for $500+ each.)
I just want so badly for everyone to stop spending thousands of dollars on shit seats so the industry caves in on itself and makes way for progress. Concerts are not supposed to be this way, and we aren't getting there if people keep throwing a $2000 ticket on their credit card for 300-level seats.
Don't be the frog boiling in the water, HOP OUT OF THE POT!
