Save Yourself |
A blog once owned by a young girl named Taylor Meriwether, 16 years old, who died on July 2nd 2011. Now run by her brother, Daniel, and her friend Kieran (anotherdamsalanotherday) To keep her memory alive, at the request of Taylor herself. |
Anonymous asked: Oh I thought she was another person I was following since I follow a lot of people here. Nevertheless I do recognize her URL on my dashboard. I didn't know that she had passed. I hope that everything's fine with you and your family. It's great that you keep her memory alive through her Tumblr upon Taylor's request. God bless and thank you for your response.
Thank you. And you too.
-Kieran
Anonymous asked: Hello! Did Taylor have a previous URL? If she did, what is it? I'm following her but I'm unsure if I'm mistaking her from a different person I'm following. Thanks!
This was always Taylors Blog. She didn’t have another URL
I got a Tattoo in remembrance of Taylor. Nothing major, nothing over the top and nothing that will grab attention. To me it is just as Taylor was, a small yet powerful and meaningful person that will stay with me forever, like the tattoo will. As she will stay with all of you for your lives too .
Its strange how something/someone so timid, shy and un-obtrusive can impact so many people and stay with them. Be such an inspiration and a guiding light for people in the dark. She guided so many people. And now as she is tattoo’d just above my foot. I’m sure she’ll guide me through some pretty tough times too.
I’ll post the tattoo here if i can work out how to.
-Kieran.
I’m sorry to announce that Sam and I will be taking a leave of absence from this blog and any other we might own/co-manage as once again we have suffered a personal tragedy. I don’t know how long we will be gone for, but we need to try and fix our current issues and get back on track before we start going over the past again.
We thank you for you continued support and love, and hope that you are all well.
-Daniel.
Anonymous asked: is this the same format/url from when she use to run the blog?
Yes, the URL has been changed twice in the entire time it’s been running and that was when Kieran had to change it because she was recieving hate while she was in a hospital and i changed it for a few days when a hate blog was put up not long after she passed. This URL is the one that she originially started the blog with, she changed the format a few times but i’ve never changed it.
Anonymous asked: Dear Taylor, It's almost been a year since your passing, and a little over 3/4 of a year since I found out. My heart still aches whenever I see something post from here or run across your facebook page. I wish things could have turned out differently. You had so much spark and spirit. I hated to see it burn out so quickly. I wish I could have saved you, but I know it was just time. Love you, beautiful. Rest easy. <3
I remember when someone started that awful blog about you, and I remember messaging you and sending into report it and getting it stopped. I remember we stayed up talking and holding on for support. But then it all stopped. I took a second today to go check on your blog, and I saw the description had changed and I read the link your brother wrote about your life. I didn’t know until today, and I’m crying. I hope you’re resting well up there. For the few times we talked, I’ll miss you. You were a genuine human being, and I’ll always respect you for that.
Anonymous asked: I think, since you took over this blog, i have liked the 'Dear Taylor' posts the most, they have such emotion and truth to them. Do you accept other things like these as submissions from other people?
Thank you, i usually only write those kinds when i have everything built up, things i need to tell her, things that have gone wrong. It’s one of the best ways for me to get it out and for other people to relate, understand and share that with me.
I havn’t had any ‘Dear Taylor’ submissions, but if anyone wants to send any in, i would be honored to read and post them. Anyone is welcome to say what they wish here, to her.
mathewishere asked: I still think about her, I still wish she was here, the other day i was hoping she hadn't gone and was just hiding. She was an amazing girlfriend an amazing person, I wish we had longer together I really do, but when i called here while she was on life support she told me to move on and be happy when she left, I'm not saying it was easy, the day she left was the day we were going to meet up, I'll never forget about her and what we shared, even though it was short she was the best girl ive met
This, fellow people, is why i could never and would never be mad at him for continuing with his life. We all should have.
Thanks for this.
My Taylor butterfly on my leg. She kept me strong. And to know she died happy, it gave me so much hope. I love her even though i never really knew her. But she was the person who kept me so strong for so long. Maybe when i die one day i’ll meet her where ever i end up. I will never forget her. <3
-Thank you for this, it is so amazing to know that more than 9 months later Taylor is still having a positive impact on people’s lives. I hope your butterfly works for you!
