love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. -h.l. mencken
About Me
- Ashton
- I am... a writer, a poet-- a peddler of words; A thinker, a philosophizer-- full of plans and ideas; A talker, though quiet-- words flowing, bubbling out; A friend, a sister-- always there to pick you up; A shoulder to cry on-- a comforting hug; Hopelessly hopeful wishful thinker-- chasing stars through the sky... I am.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
-Michael J. Fox
