a warm welcome 🌞

hi there 👋🏼

i’m meghana.

my interests are pretty diverse: i love em dashes, contemporary californian literature, doing things with words, and the most bizzare freudian fixations. but, i find that i can unite these interests under my larger passion for activism. i’m always trying to find niche ways to *spark* change at a grassroots level

always down for an oat fog,

a few fast facts:

from nj but home is LA

(basically) studying mutual obligation

My current over-used word is fire

reading too much into things

thinking about

how much symbolic weight signs actually carry
how the things left unsaid don’t necessarily mean what was said

probably listening to this or something within the intersection of beach house & the uk drill wav.

some notes; a few thoughts 🪩

i came across this poem again; i’d like to think it’s by chance. been feeling a bit startled by how fast the minutes are moving; the clocks are ticking away

i’m obsessed with object poems. the things people do with words…

the first time i (genuinely) realized that i could actually do things with words

AN UNFILTERED (SPARKLET) ARCHIVE OF SORTS:

shows: SKAM, The Good Place, My Mad Fat Diary, Veronica Mars

Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date (she is the queen of gaslighting)

art: museums, especially this one

David Driskell
this Kevin McCarty photo
my bizzare music taste is basically the intersection between the beach fossils and taylor swift (spotify!) but always looking to step outside of this 'intersection')

the smells of acrylic paints, sharpies, and cappuccinos (separately)
field hockey
writing absolutely anything (except this paper i have to do)
trying, really trying to understand modern and contemporary art (maybe, the white canvas means something, but this is genius)
lactaid has my <3
MoShiNg w/@Allie Merchant to the beach fossils

@Sarah Hakim (& others like us afflicted with NPD ;) )

i LOVE coffee

‣

things i want to do

priority: eat a really good donut w/some good company
explore the art scene in LA
find a go-to drink order at coffee shops that i'm never tired of
write, paint, & create more until i stop fearing perfection

here’s my old art “portfolio” i made in highschool (highk rushed it), but still a fun time, though a bit cringey lols
philosophize but in a way that's accessible to others outside of academia
