Hey :)

Welcome to broken asphalt! It's named so because I think everything in life is a little bit broken...but there's always the potential for something incredibly beautiful to rise from the pieces. Being a little cracked, a little chipped, a little broken, makes that something just a little bit more real, a little more unique, a little more relateable, and a little bit stronger. The most relateable, strong, unique things are really the most beautiful.
Enough of the crazy :) I'm honestly just planning to share my life in this blog, but more than my life, I'm planning to share some positivity. There's far too much negativity in the world already, and I'll admit, I have a tendency to play the damsel-in-distress too often, and become bitter about life being unfair. Too often, I forget to truly appreciate the tiny things, the amazing things that I have to be grateful for in a life that may be less-than-perfect, but is still beautiful. I forget to appreciate myself for who I am, because despite my flaws and imperfections (real and perceived), I'm still proud of both the person I am, and the person I think I can become. I forget to appreciate myself just for being ME and having the strength through make my way through life and just be standing here in the first place. I hope I can start to notice and appreciate everything just a little bit more, and through this blog, share with all of you reading how many things we actually have to be positive about. Hopefully, if you read closely enough, you'll not only learn a little bit more about me and about all the beauty life has to offer, but you'll also learn a little bit more about yourself. xoxo
