As Told By Ashley #1

You know the feeling you get when your blog is read by others? Just a few reads makes you feel heard and appreciated. I just saw that some people from somewhere else in the world have read my blog, and trust me, it does wonders to the self-esteem. I'm not getting too full of myself or anything because I barely get like 10 views a post and 0 followers, but I'd just like to say that I am very grateful for every single read. I wanted to see if I could be a blogger, and maybe one day a professional blogger/writer, which is why I created this in the first place. So yeah, thanks to everyone who even glances at this blog :) x 

Getting back to life, who else feels that 2012 just went by in the blink of an eye? Even 2013 seems to be going by shockingly fast. Whether the fault is in the lack of adventure in my life, or whether it is because god decided to hit 'fast-forward', I'll never know. In a way, this is a good thing. I have to give my GCSE boards this year, so faster it ends, the better. 

However, sometimes I wish something unpredictable would happen, just to make life interesting. Maybe a random chance to go somewhere awesome on vacation or a date? I mean, a lot of my friends are in relationships now, and it makes me feel a bit lonely at times. Just to clear this up, by no means am I saying that a girl cannot live without a boyfriend, but this girl can't help wonder what it would be like to actually have one. Too bad the guys in my grade are all either far too immature, or players. Why can't those sweet, caring, beautiful fictional guys really exist? And if they do, where are they hiding?! My guy best friend says my expectations are too high, but to be honest, I don't really care about the looks as long as the person is genuine and romantic. Dear guy BFF, I don't think that's too much to ask!

Ranting about guys aside, I'd just like to spend some time to acknowledge the fact that this year may in fact be a bit eventful. The releases of Sea Of Monsters, Catching Fire and all those other sequels and movies has got me quite pumped up. I'm admitting, I am a movie lover. Well, an "anything-fictional lover" to be precise. So yeah, at least got that to look forward to before 2013 goes by too.

For those wondering why I am randomly writing all this, I'd just like to say, suck it up cause it's my blog. And while my life may not seem that interesting, I might end up famous one day and then you'll be happy you read this. LOL, just kidding, I'll probably be one of those average people. Unless, I end up becoming a travel journalist. In that case, I'll have the best time ever, be jealous :P Anyway,  I guess I've tired everyone enough now so toodles! (I don't really say that often, but it seems like a fun word to use.)

PS: If you actually read all of this, cheers to you for being THE awesomest person ever!
