I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

    Me. Literally me. Also, you zoomed out, and kept zooming. Beautiful structure, beautiful chaos back into a cosmic order. WOW.

    This is too perfect because I no joke bought a new journal today! I’m sure it will soon join my huge stack of half-used notebooks 😆

  • It's nice to know I'm not the only one who buys journals that I will probably never write in. Great job, Ashley!
