Some Advice!

Daily writing prompt
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

I am officially 29 years old today! While I am not one to stress about how old I am, it does feel weird to be so close to 30 lol. I genuinely do not feel that old so it throws me off a bit. Coming from a family that hates to talk about their age, it feels weird to be okay with admitting how old I am.

That being said, not stressing about things that do not matter is my advice for the younger folk today. Or, really anybody. Do not hyper fixate on things like the passing of time. Yeah, it can become bittersweet and even scary at times but tis the adventure of life.

Just because you are getting older, does not mean your life is over. My grandma is almost 90 and she still goes to art, still plays piano at her church, still drives on her own. I understand, there are people who have been dealt rougher cards when it comes to their health, but that is why it matters to take care of yourself. If you have a higher chance of something going wrong down the line, maybe take some time to start making adjustments when you are younger.

Take your health seriously and let go of worrying about the years passing by. Time can only go one way but we can make decisions and choices that make that ride much more enjoyable and smooth.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
