I live in New York. I am a stand up comic and writer. You may have seen my writing on many reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum. There's a monthly comedy show called Amazeballs! I co-host and produce every third Tuesday at the Parkside Lounge. I am a member of the PITtv House Team, Codswallop. I produce an improv melee called Honey Badger. You might see me on TV soon.
You can email me at megsokay@gmail.com. I like pandas.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I grew up today…
…because I dealt with multiple people who have viscerally hurt me with grace and kindness.
I cannot begin to tell you how many bitter blog posts I’ve deleted in the past few hours. Only, young creative types, know this: you can waste almost a decade of your life seeking the approval of a creative institution before realizing that they’ll never champion you. They’ll put you down unless there’s some college related event they need organizing or some specific project they need your talents for. They won’t say you’re talented. They’ll just guilt you into helping without help or reward. This is all fine. It’s part of growing up and realizing your own worth.
You’re awesome.
Even if you don’t see it now, you’ll grow into it. I support growth and experimentation—that includes in myself.
Good luck everyone. Don’t let any setback keep you from your goal.
