There are a few things you should know right off the bat. My name is Evelyn Asher Puriri, but you can call me Asher, or Smash. I'm stubborn, strong willed, and a real pain in the ass sometimes. Almost everything around me gets treated like a living thing. From mug guys, to rocks, they all get feelings, hopes, dreams, and emotions. I will probable refer to things like this throughout my writing.
Sorry I'm a weirdo, get used to it cause its not going anywhere.
There are a few posts down there somewhere from before I decided to go public! They are about my boyfriend Nate who i'm sure you'll all come to know and love. I have decided to leave them, because they are about a vital part of my life. And one that isn't going anywhere. So excuse the mushy way I write about him sometimes. When you have such an amazing person to be there for you, laugh with you, cry with you, and pick you up when you are down its hard not to write romantic goop sometimes.
I have been blogging/writing for about five years. This is the first time i'm going to put it out there for everyone and anyone to see. I know, oh boy, take a deep breath. I had a blog I started in a high school class that I will put a link to somewhere over yonder ---->
I will warn you, it's dark, and at times not easy to read. (For reasons I won't explore now but may get into later.) The short version is this- I was extremely depressed, I isolated myself from almost all of my support systems, and I let everything out in words. Blogging was a life line for me. I don't think I would have gotten through those days without it. And I am eternally grateful to a wonderful teacher I had for giving me the biggest gift I could have ever received, the ability to express myself through the creative use of words. That being said it is now a closed chapter in my life book. I'm trying to not dwell in the past. So even though it will always be there and has taught me a ton, its not where I will be.
Which brings me back to my this blog. I have decided to start writing again. This new venture and new chapter in my life called for a new blog. A positive place for me to let out love, struggles, stories, advice, and whatever other nonsense I choose to spew. I still struggle with Depression, this is something I am choosing to be open about. But this time around I choose to deal with it by writing in a more positive light. In hopes that by sharing I can ease the journey for someone else. I know how hard it gets, how easily the world slips away and feelings of hopelessness and loneliness take over. That's when I will be here with all my words in tow. So here is to hoping people decide i'm actually worth listening to, and find a little light in all my craziness.
