Keep My Words

(From Facebook:)

Ashleigh Walker –> Justin Tiemeyer: I had a dream that we went to the same school together but class was held on a roof in Brooklyn and on the last day of class you got mad at me because you kept saying you finished reading my blog and I didn’t believe you. Then we were going to walk home together but some weird guy started talking to you, so I just left. Sorry dream-me abandoned you.

Justin Tiemeyer: Haha. I’m almost done with July 2009! So you basically lost a significant other and decided to leave work and go back to school and wrote a blog as a way of creatively dealing with it?

Ashleigh Walker: That’s how it started, a kind of quarter-life crisis. And somewhere along the way I remembered how much I love to write, and people seem to like to read it, so…

Justin Tiemeyer: Good. There’s definitely some struggle in your writing, but it’s not blown out of proportion like a John-Cusack-movie-loving, Real-World-watching, Coldplay-listening writer might. Oh and there’s structure. Which is different. Memoir-based, feelings blogs rarely have anything resembling structure. I’m enjoying your sorrow so far. Haha.

…

I started this blog one year ago today.

A lot can happen in a year.

I’ve lost some old friends, made some new friends, and held on to some true friends.

I’ve graduated college and begun working for a small company that I hope to help flourish.

I’ve gotten over last year’s heartbreak only to find there is heartbreak far more cruel than those previous, reminding me that someone I believe to be compassionate can turn out to be quite merciless.

I’ve been forced to question if the world is really plagued by bad people, or just good people who do some bad things.

I’ve changed but remained the same.

I could have never imagined that this is where I’d be now.

I wonder what the next year will bring.

Happy birthday, blog.
