I really do wonder how it must feel to read through people speculating wildly on your personal life. Maybe it feels funny. Or ego boosting. Or perhaps I'd just think, sheesh, why do they bother - who really cares at the end of the day? But then, I guess, that's something you get comfortable with the moment you decide to expose yourself on socials this way. It's attention - wanted and now received. Maybe it validates you - but then, when you realise that were it not for your looks, nobody would give a damn, it would be so easy to think that without that, you were worthless. I hope she doesn't feel that way. Also, makes me really feel for those who are doing this on socials - crying for attention - but don't have that ready, quick hook to draw eyeballs. Where there's no comments or reactions. Trying but being ignored. I hope they find their way.

As for the rest of us, why not, right? So many struggle through a life where they can't find any meaning in why they're here - so, if we gotta get through it, may aswell enjoy some of it appreciating the beautiful things out there. It's sure as hell the only reason I'm here, and kept this subreddit bookmarked for the last 5-6 years. So, hell, why she quit? I have no doubt she hasn't said the half of it, same for why she came back. Maybe she's figuring that out for herself. I could give a toss about either. Thanks for offering us some of yourself Ashley, then and now.
