Should I reintroduce myself or do you still remember who I am? Well, just to refresh your memory, I'm Ashlee. Hi. I've missed you.
A lot has happened since you've last heard from me, you know back in March, YIKES! I found myself being stuck in this limbo of "Where is my life headed?" and "Should I further my education?" - I hadn't a clue in which direction I should go in. My heart was tugging me in one direction and my head was telling me to run in the opposite way. I was confused and my anxiety was at the highest it's ever been. And so, on most days I just decided to stay in bed all day. Waste my time on reading, watching movies, and binging on instagram. My Speedracer (the husband) began to see how my anxiety had taken over and I didn't want to think of anything. Not school. Not work. Not anything. I wasn't excited about much. I had noticed everything he had been noticing. And yet, I was still stuck in the in-between.
April 11th, 2016 - I began my journey to becoming a Licensed Cosmetologist.
I still have 8 months to go in my program but in 1 more week I will move onto the floor and begin working on Clients. I couldn't be more excited. This experience has taught me so much thus far, in 4 short but quick months. I always dreamt about what cosmetology school would be like but I never imagined it would be this amazing. Being around people who have the same passion as you and are supportive in your dreams is truly a beautiful experience. I've never felt so comfortable, involved, loved, supported, and confident in my life. This is just the beginning my friends - Just Watch!
And now you know where I have been the last few months - Living Life and Chasing down dreams! Remember on the first of the year when I said my word for the year of FEARLESS? Well I'd have to say that it feels damn good to be living my life fearlessly and unapologetic.
I cannot wait to bring you all on this journey with me and I promise it won't be 4 months before you hear from me again. I have so many things to share with you about school and life. Let's enjoy this together, Shall we?
