Commitment

One word that everyone hates. Well, a lot of people. To me and others a commitment is giving it my all 100% and showing up and doing what I can whether or not I want to oblige or not. I made a commitment. The challenges I face are because the path I took that led me to these decisions. Some call it chance but I believe it fate and I believe I am right where I need to be.

When I started Ashliveslife, I knew I was making a commitment. I knew that expanding into my own brand and disbanding social media in search of inspiration, community, and positivity I simply couldn't find anywhere else on the internet. So I'm choosing to make one. I knew when things started to get serious I had to double down. I've committed myself to working on Ashliveslife to some capacity at least 4 hours a day. I've committed to learning website design throughout this whole process. I knew there would be times of frustration and discomfort. When things sky rocketed last month I got scared. Seeing this concept grow into what it is today has taken hours of blood sweat tears, caffeine, and cannabis. I chose again to double down. I knew this dream would mean many late nights, scrambling so I can catch everything up, I know there are some days I don't want to work on Ashliveslife. Like today honestly. I cleand my house, I had a good day, and I just wasn't feeling it but I made a commitment, I'm close to falling behind a metric. I had to open up my laptop and do something. After scheduling all of my Deviantart posts through the 31'st I actually feel completely accomplished and glad I put in the effort. I've got a little more room to breathe but I can not back pedal in this commitment.

I take this view everywhere I go. It's more than just Ashliveslife. To me It's principle. I feel it common sense but these days that's a dying art. I've committed to being the best person I can be and am determined to get in the best physical health I can so I can be of most use to my universe. I may be getting deep with this, but just wait. Ashliveslife is about to reveal a whole iceburgh. Okay, I did misspell that but I'll keep it to remind me of the Burgh where I came. Seriously though, as this page grows, things will get deeper, more dynamic, more real. And I hope the world can see the world through my eyes through my art.
