WHO ARE YOU!!!!!!
Who Am I????
It's so funny that this question comes about and most often times , we all want to answer by saying...... I'm a banker, a student, I have this degree and that certificate, a sister, and friend, etc..... but truth is to know who I am to everyone else is different than to know who I am to myself. I'm sure that comes across as if I mean I'm "different" as a person depending on who I am around and that's exactly the opposite of what I mean by that.
For instance, I am so selfless, motivating, honest, diligent, encouraging, and understanding with those that I am a sister, friend, cousin, and daughter to yet I'm not necessarily the same way with myself. Sometimes I'm unforgiving with myself, hard on myself, sometimes I tell myself everything and I'm overly truthful, and sometimes I'm very reliable to myself. This is what I mean when I say I'm different with myself than I am sometimes with other people. To know me both ways is to truly know Ashley. I think that's the best part of me is I'm 100% more than what meets the eye.

If I had to simplify the definition of who I am and who I see when I look into the mirror and deeper into my soul I would say....
I am a woman who is flawed, who has learned to love herself so deeply that no one can tell me I'm not favored by God. I'm honest and sometimes afraid, I'm loyal and very empowering, I'm hard on myself because I know what I deserve, I'm secure in my place in this world because I trust that God already has my life planned out. I'm authentic to my core but I have down days as well. I'm human and I realize that I'm not everything to everybody and truthfully I don't care to be. I see greatness in my eyes and I have a heart of pure gold. I always mean well even though at times it doesn't come across that way. I'm proud of my heart and the things that come out of my mind. I'm intelligent and I know exactly what I want out of life. I AM NOT PERFECT BUT IM SO PERFECT TO ME. I'm learning to be more selfish and picky with who and what I give my energy to. I'm resilient and sometimes I don't trust others because of my past. I'm growing into a better woman and making mistakes along the road while doing so. I'm still figuring it all out and I'm seeking God's voice and face as I do so. I really want to be great, But most importantly, I'm a woman who truly and thoroughly loves herself and wants to be consistently getting better.
