Isaiah 40:29-31 ♥
Hello! I'm Ashley, 21 years old,
currently living in Orlando, Florida. :)
My pancreas has been out of commission since October 13, 2003. A few weeks after that, I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with celiac disease, even though my doctor said he was 99.9% sure I didn't have it... But even through all the ups and downs, I always find a reason to keep a smile on my face. I hope my blog can inspire you and help lift you up when you're feeling down. I'm always here for my followers, so If you ever need to anything, my ask box is always open! I would love to help in any way I can!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS! ♥

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” … You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
There is good reason why we can’t expect to feel pleasure without ever feeling pain; joy without ever feeling sorrow; confident without ever feeling fear; calm without ever feeling restless; hope without ever feeling despair: There is no such thing as a one-sided coin in life, with which one can buy a pain-free, trouble-free existence.
To lose sleep worrying about a friend. To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down. To feel like less because someone didn’t love you enough to stay. To be afraid to try something new for fear you’ll fail. None of this means you’re dysfunctional or crazy. It just means you’re human, and that you need a little time to right yourself. You are not alone. No matter how embarrassed or pathetic you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” it is your mind trying to sell you a lie.
