“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock” - Charles Bukowski There are 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year, we all have the opportunity to do something amazing, and if things don’t work out today, we always have the option of starting over tomorrow. I am grateful for: second chances. fresh starts. shooting stars. smiles. warm hugs. cold hardwood floors on winter mornings. butterfly kisses. belly laughs. good friends. my life. what are you thankful for? what makes you smile? what is your passion? I’d really like to know. p.s. hello, my name is ashley and this is a glimpse into the madness that is my mind. *Avatar Photo taken by Yougo Jeberg in Ventura, CA.
