An avid reader and sarcasm specialist, Ashley's quirky and bubbly personality stems from the vast amount of information she crammed into her head as a child.

Selfish

It's been a blue minute since my last post, and while I truly am sorry for the boring inadequacy of my blog, the time off was something long overdue and desperately needed for me. You see, I stretched myself too thin, trying to do too much for too many people and my own work started suffering. Things kept getting hairier and my posts became more infrequent and inconsistent. Then they stopped altog Read more of this blog post »

Ashley’s Quotes

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
