         You have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy. -Albus Dumbledore       This year has been such a change for me for the good and for the bad. It has opened my eyes to things I never thought were possible. I had to stop letting people who do so little for me control my mind and feelings in order to learn the inner peace I had in myself. I have learned that people are only going to do what you allow them to do and that means taking full advantage of you.   I always want to be the person that people can rely on, the person that when somebody wants to vent to they know they can call me, when they are feeling down, they know I will cheer them up, when they fell unappreciated and unloved, I can can make them feel like the most special person in the world for being exactly who they are.  Making others feel loved and happy are very important to me.

What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly. -E.H.

Write to cleanse my soul, write to express and clear my thoughts.   I again found myself abandoning my blog for the umpteenth time. People have often asked me where my posts went, that they actually enjoyed reading them.   A lot has happened since I have last written on here 3 years ago (can you believe it). Let me re-introduce myself. My name has not change, I still go by Ashley and the occasional Felicia, but I as a person have.   My grammar and punctuation are still in the works but I still choose to write.   My spark about life has started to slowly die down. I know, I know I’m still young, but how young is too young when you feel like nobody in this world understands ...
