Hello, San Francisco, Goodbye: Part 5

  This story is much too much to be one blog post, so it’s broken into parts. Here are the links: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 I’m going to stop apologizing for how long it has taken me to get here. Each of these parts has been painstaking. It’s a lot of …

Hello, San Francisco, Goodbye: Part 4

San Rafael Parking Lot July 2022

I bet you thought I'd never come back to this tale. Listen. I've thought about Part 4 nearly ever day since I hit "Publish" on Part 3. In fact, I wrote a lot of this soon after.

Hello, San Francisco, Goodbye: Part 3

It was the moment I'd been waiting for, for months. Between the excitement and the exhaustion, I felt like I was either dreaming or a high-functioning zombie. It was in this sleep-deprived surreality that I got my luggage, signed for my over-priced rental car and stepped out into the ...cold?

Hello, San Francisco, Goodbye: Part 2

“If I love you, I’ll love you forever, you know?” Once, I said that to someone as a warning. By that point, it was probably too late, but I do believe love is a choice. Even if we aren’t aware that we are making a decision in the moment, there is a moment. We can …

Hello, San Francisco, Goodbye: Part 1

San Francisco Bay Bridge in Fog 2022

This isn’t the happy story I thought it would be. I wrote and re-wrote this blog entry over the last month. It kept turning out as more of a chapter than a story—a brain mosaic of narrative tangled with memories and past traumas. Who do I think I am? Ha. See, the San Francisco trip …

OMG, a Pittsburgh Magazine interview

Meghan Tutolo for Pittsburgh Magazine / by Becky Thurner Braddock

Sometimes there is good news. A couple of weeks ago, I sat down with the super talented Lori Jakiela. Though we have known each other a very long time, I’m not sure we ever really talked about my past this way. Of course, I gabbed her ear off for hours about ADHD, doodling, letter writing, …

Part 1: Bravery in the bathtub

Steel Man of Braddock, PA

It was one of those nights. I ended up on the hardwood floor, alone, half-dressed, curled into a heaving pastry and bawling my eyes out like the little girl I once was. Admittedly, I haven’t had one of these “pity parties” for a while, only tallying up to a few per year in my 30s. …

My Top 9 NEW Obsessions brought to you by Pandemic Life

Furby Face by Meghan Tutolo

  While my last post (eons ago, really) went into one of my many obsessions, aka Gillovny, this post is a silly little list-style tribute to my newer pandemic-born obsessions. I wanted to share these, because hey, maybe you need something to consume your days and torment your soul too. Or maybe you just need to …

There’s no karma in weather

Old Toys // 2020 Copyright Meghan Tutolo

We get what we deserve. Pffft. You don’t believe that do you? I don’t. I mean, I didn’t think so. I think… maybe somewhere deep down in there, I’m programmed to believe this, though. I know you’ve thought it too: If I do good, then good will come to me. We also like to tell each other: …
