My name is Ashley. I'm 18 years young and a senior in high school. I have lived in Vermont my whole life and here I still am.... In this cold, yucky, boring state. I have a boyfriend who I have been with for almost a year. We have a pitbull together named Reese.
I have given up on life. I have fought for friends. I have stood up to bullies. I have little confidence. I have won respect. I have gained friends. I have had to face changes.
I have laughed. I have cried. I have smiled. I have lied. I have probably bored you by now. I have been there for others. I have forgiven wrongs. I have shut people out. I have let someone in. I have just eaten too many cookies.
I have a dream. I have some hope. I have wasted chances. I have secrets. I have got up from falls. I have misplaced my trust. I have little quirks people copy. I have learnt from my mistakes. I have made messes. I have self respect.
I have never wanted to be anyone else.
