"she showed me loneliness, when all i wanted was love; i held on, because i used to believe. but i've lost faith, and i'll never love again." ~ myself.

my name is ashley. and i am fifteen. i am just your average girl, with more scars then you can count. i am going to be open, and say what i want. don't try to change me, because you never will. i am a semi vegetarian. i am also an artist, along with a writer.

"always accept yourself the way you are." ~ fortune.

my thoughts are dedicated to rebecca, who has helped me recollect myself, and live as i am. who has taught me something about self confidence, and living off of what i believe. and who has been there for me, even when i can't sleep at three in the am. she really is the reason i keep writing. i love you.

"the past is the past, you can't change it. the present is already here, make the best of it. and tomorrow may never come, so don't worry about it." ~ myself.
