20 Questions, Get To Myself & My Boyfriend

For a while, I’ve wanted to do some sort of “boyfriend/girlfriend” tag with Zack but he’s just not into it and the more time that goes on that more I really don’t want to either. So I figured this was a good meet-in-the-middle! I did get this idea from Alyssa Amber’s Blog from her post she did with her beau here > 20 QUESTIONS, GETTING TO KNOW ME AND MY BOYFRIEND, So let’s just jump right on in.

When/Where did we meet?

We met in high school, probably some point between sophomore and Junior year. We did really met until closer to the end of our Junior year.  We had one or maybe two classes together.

Where was our first date?

Our first unofficial date was for his 17th birthday, I was working at a movie theater at the time so I got him, and someone of our friends’ movie tickets to see Rio. Funny enough, when we left I told him that I thought he was cute and then a few hours later he asked me to be his girlfriend… oh simpler times.

When / Where was our first kiss?

That was a long time ago, honestly probably in the parking lot when I dropped him off.

Who said I love you first?

Probably me.

What’s my weird habit?

Zack: “Getting up in the middle of the night.”

Me: “How obsessed you are with sports.”

What was our first trip together?

Chicago in February 2018

What is my best personality trait?

Zack: “You’re a good person. You have a big heart.”

Me: “That you’re always willing to be there for your family.”

Why do you think you were attracted to me?

Zack: “You’re funny.”

Me: “Your heart.”

What do I do in my free time?

Zack: “Playing sims and watching Netflix”

Me: “Play video games or watch Impractical Jokers”

How long have we dated?

We dated in high school for a year and a half and then broke up for a while. Now we’ve been together for just about 2 years. But it honestly feels like so much longer.

Describe me in 3 words.

Zack: ” Funny, outgoing, cute”

Me: “Caring, funny, handsome”

How long do I need to get ready in the morning?

Zack: “8 hours, okay 30 minutes.”

Me: “Like 20 minutes or so.”

What is the first thing you ever gave me?

Zack: “A penguin necklace.”

Me: “I don’t really remember… probably cologne, that was kind of my thing.”

Which song reminds you of me?

Zack: “I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco”

Me: “The Motto by Drake”

Am I a morning or evening person?

Zack: “Night”

Me: “Night”

What is your first thought in the morning when you wake up next to me?

Probably nothing lol

When did you first realize that you liked/loved me?

Zack: “”

Me:  “I don’t really know that there was a moment, it just kind of happened. One moment it was one thing and the next it was another. I feel in love with him.”

Can you read me by looking into my eyes?

Zack: “”

Me: “Yeah, he’s like an open book.”

What is your favorite date night we have had so far?

Zack: “”

Me: “The time we went mini-golfing, it was the middle of the day but that was a lot of fun.”

What is your dream/goal in life?

Zack: “”

Me: “Probably to just be happy.”

Love, Megan Anne

Would You Rather – Travel Addition

I’ve always been a fan of “would you rather” games, mostly because it causes you to think about the worst-case scenarios. It makes you think about what if this really happened, what would I do? Now I didn’t come up with these on my own but I did grab them from multiple different places, so feel free is leave your answers in the comments or tag me on twitter (@lovemegananne) if you answer these questions, I’d love to see your answers!

1. Stay in an all-inclusive resort where you are waited on hand and foot but can’t leave the vicinity or embark on a 10-day cruise where you are able to island-hop? I think I would rather the all-inclusive resort,  honestly I’m not really sure I’d do very good on a 10-day cruise and staying somewhere that is all-inclusive sounds amazing.
2. Take a whirlwind trip around Europe with a full itinerary or spend three months soaking up all that Asia has to offer? I think a whirlwind trip around Europe is actually on my bucket list. Joke aside, Europe has so much to offer, I think that sounds like a great time.
3. Be stuck for a week on a mountain top with an amazing view or on a deserted island with a beautiful beach? I’m going to take a mountain top. Mostly because a deserted island sounds like there wouldn’t be coffee and I can’t deal.
4. A chauffeur that drives you to and from wherever you want in a vehicle of choice or a 5-star personal chef who prepares your every meal of the day? A chauffeur, do you know how much less stressful my life would be if I didn’t have to worry about driving myself? So much easier!
5. Never be able to travel again or never have sex again? Sorry Zack, I’m going to keep on traveling.
6. Travel or focus on your career at the age of 25?  Travel, Maybe when I’m older I’ll wish I would be more focused on my career now but maybe I won’t. I think travel has made me a better person.
7. Have a $10,000 budget for a holiday and fly first class for $5,000 and stay in mediocre accommodation or spend $1,000 on economy seats and stay in luxury accommodation? Well I’m spending less money to get somewhere and staying in a luxury place because I like the nice things in life.
8. Never take a train or never take an airplane again? Never take a train again, I would be stuck on one content if I did planes, so no thanks.
9. Have an awesome job in a mediocre city or a mediocre job in an awesome city? Live in an awesome city. A job is a job, but outside of work, it’s nice to have fun.
10. Be able to teleport places you’ve already been or only be able to teleport to places you’ve never been before? I think I would prefer to go to places I’ve already been. That seems a lot easier than trying to teleport somewhere I’ve never been. Try hiding that you can do that when you end up in the middle of a crowd. That’s sure to stir a few pots.
11. Be stuck on a 7-hour delay, or go to the airport and realize that your flight is tomorrow? Be stuck on a 7-hour delay, at least I’d get to walk around the airport, see planes and maybe even leave for a little exploring.
12. Be able to play every musical instrument that you touch or speak every language that you hear? I would rather be able to speak every language that I hear. I could go to foreign places and not have to worry about not understanding.
13. Would you rather travel along the ocean floor or take a trip to outer space? I’m going to the moon, Mom!
14. Travel back in time to meet your ancestors or forward to meet your descendants? I think it would be cool to do both but I think that I would rather go back, mostly because I think seeing the future would cause it to change.
15. Have in-flight WiFi but no legroom (like zero inches) or in-flight legroom but no WiFi? Legroom, every day. I hate cramped airplanes and I can deal without WiFi.
16. Lose all your money or all of your pictures you have ever taken? Realistically, all my photos because I have those memories. But I think losing all my pictures would hurt worse.
17. Live in the avatar universe or the pokemon universe? I loved Pokemon growing up but I think the Avatar universe just seems more interesting.
18. Be blessed with more time or more money? More time. It seems like there is never enough of it.
19. Call one places home for the rest of your life or move somewhere new every year? I think I would rather call one place my home forever. I can travel everywhere else.
20. Visit Hogwarts or Narnia? Narnia, I was so fascinated by the world when I was younger. I’ve always loved the stories and the movies and just everything about Narnia.

A-Z Advice To My younger self

I’ve seen these types of post before, and it’s usually advice in general but I wanted to give a little advice to my younger self or anyone reading this who is going through what I went through as a teenager / younger adult.

A – Apologize when you’re wrong or misspeak. It’s not always easy and sometimes you really won’t think you have something to apologize for. If it’s a few days later, don’t be afraid to admit that you were wrong and that you’re sorry.

B – Believe in yourself. You are going to do amazing things and you can do it. I know, it’s so damn hard and it doesn’t seem possible but everything is possible if you try. Believe in yourself and let your mind run wild with dreams and goals. If you don’t believe in yourself, then no one else can.

C – Call them. Pick up your phone and call that friend you haven’t from in awhile. Pick up the phone and call someone just to say “hi”. They won’t always call you, so do it.

D – Delete the people from your life that don’t make you happy. Delete them from social media, their contact, their text messages. It’s okay to not what to have someone in your life.

E – Except the unexcepted.

F – Friendships are hard to keep as y’all get older. There are going to be the friends that you’ll keep forever but there are some that won’t be around for a lifetime. People grow up, you change, your life changes and one day, without even realizing it, you aren’t friends anymore. It’s life.

G – Give more then you take. But don’t let someone take advantage of that kindness.

H – Hug your loved ones, you never know when it may be the last time. Heaven isn’t close, and it hurts when you don’t know it’s the last time.

I – Intelligence isn’t always the key, you can be smart in so many other ways other than books.

J – Joke around, laugh loudly, be yourself and don’t let someone tell you who you aren’t.

K – Kill them with kindness.

L – Love yourself proudly. Let yourself find happiness in the love that you feel for yourself and don’t be afraid to say it. You have to love yourself.

M – Money is stressful. Either you have to much or you have to little. Learn to live in the moment and be okay with where you are financial. Even if that place isn’t good.

O – Open yourself up to the possibility of life not being what you planned. Allow change to happen and roll with the punches.

P – Plants are never going to be your thing, it’s okay.

Q – Quit excepting everyone else to do the most. Quit excepting everyone else to be there for you. Do it for yourself, and be there for yourself.

R – Rain will come and go, so will those emotions that your feeling at this moment. Don’t act on the feelings that you are feeling right now. Sit down, take a breath, have a glass of wine, sleep for eight hours and then if you still feel that way, act on it. Chances are you probably won’t feel the same way you did because you’ve had the chance to take a breath and think it through. It’ll be okay.

S – Sunshine is the best medicine, but please wear sunscreen. You burn girl.

T – Time isn’t going to stop, you can’t get the time you spent mad back. But you can make the most of every moment you have.

U – Unquie isn’t a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Be unique and be proud of that.

V – Volume is great in your hair, in music, in the ac but not in your attitude.

W – Wash it out in the wash, your problems, your troubles, your heartake, your worries. Everything comes out in the wash.

X – Words that start with X are mostly drugs, so… DON’T DO DRUGS.

Y – Young love is love, it’s real and it matters. But it’s also not always going to last, it’s okay to walk away, even if only for long enough for y’all to grow up.

Z – Zack Hart, I love you. ❤

Love, Megan Anne

September Goals

It’s clear that I need to set some goals and I need to make myself stick to them. With that being said, this is my goal setting mind setting goals that are really high and maybe not achievable. So, here’s to setting goals and hopefully meeting them.

1.  Work on getting in a better routine.  For any of you that have ever worked the schedule of 3 12 hour shifts, then you probably will understand what I mean when I say, I have no real routine anymore. So right now, I work 3 days of 12-hour shifts, with 4 days off after that. Usually, my routine goes something like, Monday I’m trying to recover from extreme tiredness. Tuesday I’m getting up and doing things. Wednesday, I’m a little more active and then Thursday, I just want to be a couch potato. I’ve been saying it for a while, but I would really like to get back to using my days more effectively. I mean damn, I have 4 days off, I literally could take a mini-vacay every single week. I don’t, mostly because the budget would just scream. But the point is, I need to get back to a routine that I can do every single day.
2. Read at least 1 book. Y’all I used to read like 6 – 8 books every month. Seriously, I was a book person, but between the new job and life, I can’t honestly tell you what I last read a book, at least not all the way. It’s something that I love and miss so much.
3. Get to packing. I’m spilling the beans, we’re moving! So we aren’t moving till late October, and honestly, I probably shouldn’t be packing quite yet but I’m also an over-doer person. I won’t lie, I probably won’t do much packing till closer to the beginning of October but I want to make this a goal so I can remember to get boxes and tap, and let my organizing self go to town!
4. Get ahead on blog post. Obviously, if you’re reading this post then you’ve read my most recent post, and if not here you go Hi Again….. So I want to get ahead because I know that, that is the best way to keep a blog going. Life happens, and I’m the first one to know exactly how that works. So having a post scheduled to go out, helps so much. Of course, there are post that are random and just happen but it’s always better to have a stockpile of blog post that you can have up if needed. Learn from my experience.
5. Make a new playlist. I have this playlist that I made for fall like, two years ago. And I still listen to it, but it’s time for me to sit down and get some new music flowing. I really enjoy making playlist and so I honestly put so much effort into it. So, if you want to listen to my previous Fall playlist click here > Soothing Fall

Those are my goals for September! There aren’t many but honestly, it’s not always about the amount but about the depth of each.

What are some of your September goals? What do you want to achieve and how do you plan on achieving them? Let me know in the comments below!

Well, Hello There…

So, it’s been a hot minute since I actually updated on a blog or like even wrote for a blog. And I’ll take a moment to say this: it’s weird. It’s really weird knowing that what I’m writing will eventually be out in the public eye again, and knowing that either people are going to love it or they are going to hate it. But here I am, writing this blog post like it hasn’t been foreverrrrrrrrrr.

Let’s talk about the elephant in room: I’m not on my original blog anymore! If your an OG follower then you probably know what I’m talking about. And if you’re new, well I’ll do a little explaining for y’all. Basically, at one point I had a blog named: Love, Megan Anne – and wait I know, this is the same name, but here’s the thing: I had my own domain, so it wasn’t lovemegananne.wordpress.com, it was simply lovemegananne.com. Now for a long time, I really did enjoy blogging on there and I wish that I still could. Now, I do own the domain but I haven’t been able to get any sort of hosting (blogging terms, what can I tell ya?) because of how costly it really is.

Now, back in 2017, I did try to set up a goal that I wouldn’t keep my blog running if I wasn’t making any money. But I’ll be honest, I couldn’t bring myself to stop all the different things that went along with. It was my baby and I loved it so much, I had literally put so much time, energy, and effort into it. So 2017 came and went, and I never could make any money. So in 2018, I made a similar goal. But 2018 was honestly a weird year for me.

I don’t want to say that I was depressed because I don’t believe that I was, but I wasn’t in a good place. Something I have talked about before is that I do get really bad anxiety when it comes to finances, not handling them but how am I going to handle them. Thankfully I did end up getting a new job and that is honestly the only reason I got out of that rut.

With that being said, I’ve still played the game of going back and forth. Do I want to get back into and start sharing as much as I was? Or do I take a step back and not share? I still haven’t figured out what the answer to that question is. I don’t know how much I do what to share, and how much I don’t want to share. I still really enjoy sharing my life, but I’m older now and to some extent, I don’t know how much I want to share. I could be, and probably am, overthinking it. Which is like my thing, honestly.

Anyways, the real point of this to say, hi. I want to get back into this and I want to start blogging again. Eventually I will get my OG blog back to this one but for now, I’m going to basically be starting new. Which, isn’t really an awful thing. I do plan to get back to youtube as well, with everything that is happening in my life, I want to not only share it but also have it to look back on. I think I’m finally at a place of wanting to share again.

So hi, I hope you stick around and I hope that you enjoy what is to come!

Love, Megan Anne
