So, people like the look of my brain.
Definitely the most likes in all of my entire tumblin world. Good to know. Affirming. Good day.
Let's look inside my brain.
People and relations with people are so interesting to me. And I’m coming to find how exactly I act around people, and if it’s a good or bad thing.
Most of you, I’m sure, could look back at our first encounter and remember me shy and quiet; some may have even thought of me as (I’ve heard it before) “bitchy” simply because I hardly make conversation. The reason...

Reunited.
Ashlee: What are you doin?
Taryn: Lookin at the food.
(silence)
Taryn: Wanna make Mac and Cheese?
Ashlee: Wanna make pizza?
Taryn: I don't have pizza.
Ashlee: I do.
Taryn: Can I have some?
Ashlee: Yeah.
Taryn: Okay.
Thank you, Jesus.
After Transcend
Ryan: Hey, Ashlee. God wants you to know that you are His precious and that He does care for you a lot!
Ashlee: (sigh of relief) Okay, good!
The Ultimate.
Romans 8.
(28) And we know that IN ALL THINGS God works for the GOOD of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.
(31) What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
HOLY FRICK.
(32) He who did not spare his own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
By the by, I saw...

Happy thoughts.
(I try my best to type these out as greatly as they are, but plain words do not suffice the hilarity that is my little brother and best friend Noah James Lyon)
Noah: Hahahahaha.
Ashlee: Haha.
Noah: (silence)
a good ten seconds go by.
Noah: Oh no....my happy thought just went away.
Ashlee: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Noah: No, really!
Ashlee: HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That was such a funny sentence.
Noah: Put it on facebook.
Ashlee: Why?
Noah: Because you always put my funny quotes on facebook.
Noah: But I was thinking about puppies and rainbows and then a stallion came and squashed the puppy and it stuck to his foot. And then everything went dark.
Ashlee: I'm sorry that happened to you.
Noah: It's okay.

Gettin Older.
Ashlee: You should just fly out here one weekend. Would you be scared the fly alone?
Noah: No.
Ashlee: I would be scared for you.
Noah: Why cause of all the weirdos?
Ashlee: No, cause you're just a baby!
Noah: No, I'm not. I'm gonna be 13 in March!
Ashlee: Well you'll always be my baby brother! Cause I'll always be 6 years older than you. Even if you're 30. I'll be 36
Noah: And Coley will be 40!
Ashlee: Ew! Weird!
Noah: I know! She'll be an Old Person!

Thoughts of the Season
I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoy
dressing like a bum even though my closet is overflowing with decent looking clothes
being silent when I have lots to say
walking around barefoot on rocky ground
singing out loud to whatever song my headphones are playing
dancing in the kitchen
being a mystery
Another thought:
It’s funny how often I wait around for other people’s maturity...
Even Characters "DTR"
(I wanted to find the video for this, but I couldnt. The words will suffice. - And this made me think of Ben, cause he writes a lot about DTRing)
Ned: Am I your boyfriend? And I realize boyfriend and girlfriend are familiar trite labels, but we never actually said it, and not that we need to define the relationship but… it may be helpful in a familiar trite way, the way on a holiday created to sell greeting cards it’s still kinda nice to get a card, and are you gonna cut me off with a "yes" any time soon?
Chuck: Yes.
Love, or something.
Is it possible to say how you’re feeling in every moment, be valid, heard, and not be thought of as crazy? Is it possible to even write this and not be thought of as insane? Judge on, judgers. Think your thoughts. But all the while there are people hurting, in every way, and you are too. Everyone feels. Everyone hurts. Everyone cries. Let them. Just let them. For once. Let them.

Life conversations
Ashlee: Hm, I haven't been to a wedding since I was ten.
Danni: You can come to mine.
Ashlee: Thanks.
(just be you)
Ashlee: I want to be a bird.
God: How do the birds glorify me?
Ashlee: Hm...by flying and eating and just being birds.
God: Then you should do the same.
Words of the Day
I miss Vocabulary Books from Elementary school to Sophomore Year of High School. It was my favorite subject and activity for normal homework.
So recently I have decided to look up a word every time I heard it and did not know what it meant, or kinda new, but wanted a more specific meaning. And I get words of the day sent to my phone.
So I’m sharing with you:

Fact
God keeps slapping me in the face with this truth: you ARE Loved!
indeed. and that is what I asked for, to get slapped in the face with that truth.
and more of it.
“You live in a community where you are surrounded by people that love you.” - Bradley Cotan
That was Holy Spirit speak, and Bradley speak. And it did, indeed, hit me. Hit me in the figurative slap and also in the way...
“Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss...”
– Ned, the Pie Maker
(I, secretly, want to talk like this)
Ned: I hate secrets too
Chuck: What? You LOVE secrets. You want to marry secrets and have little half human half secret babies

No Words Necessary
Ashlee: (realizing the pain in her leg is completely gone, smiles) Thanks, Jesus.
HS: (smiles)
Ashlee: (realizing she hasn't said much to Him today in an effort to avoid being emotional, tearing up) God...I...I'm...
HS: I know, it's okay. I've got you.
Ashlee: (smiles)
Home isn't a place you can get to by Train
The clock on this laptop reads 2:19. But I’m here in California, where it is only 1:19, and the clock is from the future, and Arizona, so I can’t blame it for lying to me, but I did get let down when I found out. Around the time that the clock reads is around the time I will be heading out, heading North….ish….to Arizona! Wait, maybe East? Ern, uh. (Please note, I am...
I love my friends and I love that they love me
Ashlee: Corebore. you're great.
Cory: As are you shleezy
Ashlee: I am very glad I know you, sir.
Cory: I am glad you let me get to know you
Ashlee: and yet there is so much you do not know
Cory: Very very true. Maybe a few more road trips will do the trick.
Ashlee: Maybe, but i recently realized that it took a good solid ten years for me to be completely me around Noah, so I wonder about the rest
Cory: We got ten years
Ashlee: Huzzah! But who knows who i will be then
Cory: I'm sure you will be a better version of you, which is good because this version is already awesome

Friends,
All along, thought I was learning how to take
How to bend, not how to break
How to laugh, not how to cry
Really, I’ve been learning how to die
