Me.

Who Am I && Why have I Chosen to Write
~ ~
I am an opportunist, that is, whatever comes my way I try and take advantage of it to it's full potential, but at the same time I am an optimist that constantly plans and fantasizes about the future. One of the greatest things in life is the smile.
What makes me the happiest is seeing the people around me smiling and smiling right along with them.
My downfall is my all consuming mind, constantly trying to do what is best for myself while loosing sight of what is best for the whole.
I am not a woman who tries to have a large crowd of friends but rather intimate ties where I can truly find out who the person is and how I can become my best self through our friendship.
I am woman with drive and a seeker of possibilities which explains my love for travel and adventure. My adventures not only create an outlet for me to plan and fantasize but also give me a much needed time to reflect and simply enjoy, which does not happen often enough in my day to day life.
I am a foodie. I love cooking, recreating dishes found in cookbooks, eating, and learning about food.
I am a student, constantly learning and applying within and beyond the classroom.
I am Ashley.

I am writing to collect my thoughts in one place, to share my adventures, to become more creative, to express my passions, and to grow as a person.
This is my place to escape the chaos and be me.
