Hello everyone, my name is Ashley and this is my #springthepositivity entry.

·| An Intro |·

A little bit of background on me; I'm 21, female and from Ohio, USA. I am bisexual and polyamorus, I don't believe in a limit of love.

·| My Favorite Thing About Myself |·

That would have to be my positivity. Don't get me wrong, I have bad days. But most of the time I'm a very positive person, I try to be optimistic and show others a brighter way to look at a situation. I believe that your mindset effects your reality.

(Note: I do suffer from mental illness so I'm not always this way and it's irrational to think everyone will always be happy and positive all the time)

·| Some Personality Traits & Qualities |·

I love humor; laughing and making others laugh brings me a lot of joy. I try to make others laugh whenever I can, and I think I am pretty good at it.

I'm very open-minded and accepting. Life is to short to try and stay mainstream. So I'm very much about being yourself and feeling free to do that.

I'm very ionate about equality between all beings and saving the planet. I believe in living with the environment around me and doing as little damage as I can. I've been vegetarian for a year and I'm transitioning to being vegan. A big goal of mine is to be completely vegan in 2020.

·| Flaw Positives |·

I'm going to use my mental disorders as the flaws and say the positives of both.

Borderline Personality Disorder-

A positive of having BPD is that I feel emotions more deeply than others. While yes, this can be a negitive. I see it more as feeling love, joy and ion more intense than the average person.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-

While the disorder itself is not positive at all, I try to view the experiences that caused it as things I've learned and grown from. They have taught me lessons I don't think I would have learned any other way.

·| Determined |·

Over the past year, I have done a lot of growing. And I feel that in that time I have grown stronger and more resilient. I am ready to change. I am ready to take control of my life. I am ready to live.

·| Conclusion |·

I hope you enjoyed this little positivity post and getting to know me a little better. I am always down to talk and get to know others in the community and my inbox is open to anyone that is 18+:)
