Starting A Blog..

So, starting a blog... not really something I saw myself doing. That being said I usually have a lot to say about a lot of things, as most of you know, so it makes sense that I ended up here. I'm not sure how many people will even read this but it is a good outlet for me to vent, HELLO CHEAP THERAPY! The good news is I know I will have one fan (hi mom!) because even when your artwork sucked as a kid, she still thought you were on a fast track to The Louvre.

SO, Here goes nothing!

On any given day I have about 10-15 things bouncing around my head at one time but for the sake of your sanity I will only limit this particular post to a few, one of us should stay lucid right?
On my mind lately is life. Now if you have made it this far into this post you are sitting there thinking "Wow Ashley how very unique and deep, what a beautiful thought" in what I hope is the most sarcastic tone ever because that is literally the most general thing I could have said, but in all seriousness I can't say it in any other way.
I have been thinking about life and what an interesting thing it is. As homosapien's we are programmed to question things. We question if we really should eat those leftovers that have been in the fridge since.. well we aren't ever really sure. We question if we really like that shirt we have had in our closet that we have never really worn but refuse to give up on. We question why sporks are only ever used by KFC and why you even need a spork to eat a drumstick? (no? just me.. okay..) We question why we keep scrolling through Facebook when we have already seen that post about the Powerball 1 billion times. We even go as far as to question why we keep going to that job that we hate every day. WE QUESTION EVERYTHING. The good news is, we should. We should question those leftovers, that really ugly shirt, the spork, that annoying facebook post, even our big life decisions. If we don't stop wondering, questioning, we wont figure out the important stuff. We won't figure out that eating those leftovers will land you on the toilet for a good two hours.. (hope your TP is soft!). We won't figure out that the shirt we are holding on to needs to be given away because really, that thing is a mess. As long as we keep challenging our minds we will be able to understand ourselves better. We will maybe even one day figure out that illusive piece of frankenstein silverware, or how to make the change we need to, to be happy in our job.
So if you take anything away from this post let it be that life isn't in the problems we face daily but what we get from experiencing them.
Life is in the answers. Life is in the discovery.
