I love putting my feelings on paper, it helps me to know that they’re real. Plus, I have way too many thoughts, I can’t hold all that in my head. Some things are best left in a notebook than in the body. I have an incredibly warped sense of time, so I sometimes reread journals to remind myself of what has happened in my life. And wow, there’s nothing more powerful than a preteen’s unbridled emotions and Ashley you will pay for what you did in the 5th grade. If I die and someone finds all of my journals please publish them, there’s some good tea in there and I’m not afraid of burning bridges in the afterlife. Get a good pen, find a nice notebook, and put it all down.

when I was a teenager, I burned all my journals because I didn’t want anyone knowing my thoughts. Or it was just to fit my dramatic emo aesthetic. Either way, I’m sad to not be able to look back on those times. Little me could have used empathetic older me.
I’ve kept all of my journals since. Some of them are really hard to look back on and bring me back to really dark times in my life. I like having them available to me though. I like to imagine my kids or my grandkids reading through them someday and understanding me as a whole human, not just as mother or grandmother.
I tend to write a lot more when I’m sad or depressed, so I’ve been working on writing during the good times too.

I’ve had a diary/journal ever since I was in 2nd grade (shoutouts to Amelia’s Notebook for sparking something in me). My journal is one of my most prized possessions. It’s my confidante, my source of inspiration, my friend.
Journaling has always allowed me to unapologetically express myself. I’ve learned to embrace my voice through writing. I love when I read back on past journal entries and be like, ‘Damn I wrote this?! This is poetry.’

I don’t feel like it. You don’t feel like it. Normalize bailing.

Most of my apartment and my clothes are vintage or used. I am not trying to sound holier than thou, but if you’re impressed I will take it. Some of the best pieces in my apartment and my most worn items all come from Craigslist, Poshamrk, or my favorite resale site, Noihsaf Bazaar (don’t even bother trying to sound out the name it’s just ‘fashion’ backwards). It’s the first place I check when I see something I like and want to find a used (and less costly!) alternative. I am a Taurus so if I’m going to do anything it’s add to cart. But I try to do so as ethically as possible!!!

I’m not a health expert, just a girl who works out in matching sets for show and frequents the farmers market every Saturday. I am a performer at best. But getting a set of colonics a few times a year has made me a new woman. I’m from Los Angeles which means I am not well up in my noggin, but my body is a “temple.” I feel less bloated and less bitchy. I feel lighter and less evil. If you’re in LA, this is who I both my mom and I go to.
