Meg Is Bad At is a project that was born out of my consternation at not being able to do basic things (like change a car tire, for example) and my fear of trying new things and failing or looking stupid.
I know I’m not alone in the frustration of wanting to accomplish something but feeling like there are insurmountable obstacles between having an idea and actually bringing that idea to life. Couple that with the absurd amount of perfection we’ve all been conditioned to accept in our day-to-day activities (I’m looking at you, TikTok filters!) and it all becomes far too easy to compare yourself to the accomplishments of others and come up short.
I’m going out on a limb and, slowly but surely, creating a community for people who want to see someone trying. Hopefully, my trials (and inevitable errors!) will help others feel empowered to try for themselves.
It’s not yet clear to me where this project will go. Is it a blog? Is it a short-form video archive? Is it a forum, a guidebook, or a gallery? I don’t know! I think discovering its potential will be half the fun, and I hope you’ll come on this journey with me.
Is there anything Meg is good at?
Yes!
Meg is good at singing, listening, driving, and writing.
I do think there’s always room for improvement, though!
