Ashley's Page

I’m Ashley Rae, quite the dreamer, often in my own world. I have my heart and mind set on living by the sea. My dream? I'm a victim of wanderlust, and my dream is to travel the world ("There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars."). Somedays, I’ll talk till my throught is sore. I fall in love with things. I love clouds so thick you can’t see the sun. I love winter days spent by the fire. I love people, places, history and culture. Maybe, someday, I’ll call myself a photographer. I love big cities. I love small towns. I love no town at all. I love being surrounded by people. I love being alone. I’m an introvert. I’m an extrovert. (although I'm beginning to find this isn't often true.) I love to sleep the day away. I love to wake up and watch the sun rise. I constantly contradict myself.

I've yet to write a zine of my own, although there's been several failed attemps. I'm currently on attempt #3. However, I've been reading zines for a few years now, and couldn't imagine my life without them, they've shaped who I am and who I am becoming.

I am looking for someone to exchange mail with (letters, cards, zines or postcards). Someone to connect to, or just talk to. Someone who can't help but smile when they see a letter in their mail box. I hope that you'll say hello. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from.
