Actually, It's Ashleigh: 4 Month Hiatus

Hi friends! It has been a while since I have posted to my blog. I have found myself missing this outlet, so I am back. Hopefully I’ll post more consistently than every 4 months. My last post was from February 22^nd and I didn’t even write it! Oops. Between then and now, a number of things have happened:

Erol moved to Boston.
I finished my Masters and started working full time.
I broke my camera and bought myself a new one.
It’s summer again!
I’m moving to Cambridge in September.

These are all good things. I may even be so bold as to exclaim these are great things! I feel like I am growing up and moving into a new phase of my life, and it is exciting. It seems like every day I am learning something new about myself. I have been keeping a daily journal, something I was inspired to do after reading “The Happiness Project,” by Gretchen Ruben. I like writing a few sentences at the end of every day—I write about a specific event, something that inspired me, or a lesson that I learned. I have surprised myself a few times when I actually go to write my thoughts. I find even when I am thinking about one thing in particular, I may actually write about the overall message or lesson learned rather than the specific details surrounding the event. It just goes to show that you learn something new every single day. Human beings are not perfect and we are constantly evolving and shaping who we are.

It feels great to be back, and to be writing again.

And because everyone loves photographs, here a few I took this past weekend. Enjoy!
