Introductions

     I love introductions. Sometimes they're witty and quick, other times they are informational and business like, but they are always informative and helpful when you are learning someone new. It's also a way to see how someone views themselves, even if you've known them your entire life. Introductions are usually not enough though, when I hear my sister introduce herself or my best friend I always feel that they have not given themselves enough credit for how amazing they are! Well I figured that I should do an introduction, because five months ago since I introduced myself to this blog was a while away and as I read more blogs, I have come to realize I join in the middle of their story and don't even know their names. These strangers that I have come to have love for, I don't know their names or what they do, nothing personal about them, just who they are and how they think. While I find the mystery wonderful and somewhat peaceful I would sometimes like to view their first posts and see how differently they were in the beginning and how they introduced themselves to the blogging world. So here goes nothing.

     My name is Ashley and I am a fun filled positive young woman. (Or so I like to think) I am twenty two years old and currently not enrolled in school for the semester, but for all intensive purposes, I am a nursing student in southern Louisiana. I work at a major cell phone company taking calls all day and helping customers with their phones and bills. I have a roommate with whom I live in an apartment that I love. I have an older brother, a younger sister, and a younger brother. (In that order) and two parents who I love dearly. I grew up in the New Orleans area and miss the live music that I could hear so often that I don't get to hear now. I still live in southern Louisiana, but more Cajun town than jazz and blues now. Music doesn't rule my life, but it has affected the mellow personality that I tend to have. I am currently finding myself in religion and my relationship with a God that may be there a little difficult, but still exsists. My life has not been what I would consider rough, but rewarding. I've always had to work for the things that I have and will have and that has made me a more realistic person, even though my mother does say I have campaign tastes with a water hose budget. I like to smile and be happy, I also like to help others and try to be as supportive as I possibly can with my friends and family. I tend to allow other people's feelings affect me and I take on their burdens as well as their joys. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, but I try not to focus on the negative things. I am looking forward to my future and the way that things will be so much sometimes I forget to live in the now and focus on what I am doing and how things are working out. I also tend to indulge a little too much and need to work on that more so as I'm getting older because I need to be healthier and happier.

     That's me and as honest as I can be. I could most likely write a book on who I am and how I act, but what would be the point of a blog if I did that? Well I hope you all enjoyed my introduction and I will be around to write about something new at a different time.
