Out of the Woodwork

I’ve been noticing something strange happening lately. From the posts that I have done where I’ve spoken about not being able to eat, losing weight, being stressed… blah blah blah… negative negative… People who I never thought would reach out to me just to check in and see if I am ok, actually reached out to me. Weird huh? And the people who I thought would be there for me haven’t really at all. Granted I have an amazing fiance and close family and so forth. It’s just interesting to notice who is really there for you in times of need.

This doesn’t mean that I love anyone any less since they haven’t reached out to me. Also, I’m not some pre-madona sitting here moping because the peeps who I thought would maybe shoot me a text or give me a call haven’t. That’s not where I’m going with this. I get it that sometimes when you read things about what is going on in other peoples lives that it may be hard for people to connect with you. Sometimes you’re overwhelmed with your own life that you just can’t bare the thought of trying to help someone else. I get that. I TOTALLY get that. I care for each and everyone of you exactly the same as before.

All I am trying to say here (before I continue just rambling) is that I just want those of you, who have come out of the wordwork to talk to me in to the wee hours of the morning — THANK YOU. Your kind words of encouragement and hope mean literally the world to me. Although in the moments where I may have had tears in my eyes or whatever the deal was with me where I haven’t shown appreciation, you need to know that I appreciate you. It’s your kind thoughts and genuine words that are making me get through my bump in the road. I am learning so much from this experience that I do know that I will come out as a much much stronger person.

To all the kind people out there who just want to support one another and see one another grow, I give my blessings to you that you grow as well. If you’re in a crappy time, know that you can change it. It’s up to you to create the life of your dreams. Don’t stop when you know others talk behind your back or say negative stuff about you. It’s your life, you live it the way you want. Chase your dreams and live. We’re only here once and it’s just too short of a time to worry about what others think.

Here I am worrying that I’m going to offend people by posting this. I mean no offense, just wanted to thank those of you who have been so kind.

Peace and Love,

ashley

  1. You’re right Ashley. Always say what you think and think about what you say. No harm done when you state what’s on your mind. If, in fact someone doesn’t like it, well then they will have to figure that out.
    We all have to figure out what works in our lives. It takes a bit of time to realize that not everyone will be on the same playing field as we are and at the same moment in time.
    Remember, we all come from different walks of life.
    All is well.
