I really suck at writing bios. Most of the time, my bios include emojis, something about my pet cat, and that I have a youtube channel. But I feel like Wattpad is a little bit different. 

I'm a high school student, named Ashlyn, who greatly struggles with everything, and can't seem to find a moment to chill out, and not panic about everything. I'm also a strong advocate of mental health awareness, seeing as both me and mom deal with anxiety, and my grandma has dealt with severe depression. I've seen mental illness affect people in the worst kinds of ways, and affected me pretty badly at one point too, so I try my hardest to educate people on what it is. I also have a YouTube channel that I've been using for nearly three years, and I sort of treat it like my child. Much like Dan Howell, I don't upload that often, but I've been trying my hardest to upload weekly. 

That sums up enough about me as a person, but as a writer, I am very different.  I used to be a strictly fan fiction writer, but after a few years of writing it non-stop, I got a little bored, and found it really difficult to write fan fiction, which is why I stopped using my wattpad as often as I used to. as of late, I've been writing stories that I've come up with, and characters that I've created on my own, and it's proven to be a lot more fun that writing fan fiction. I'd really like to start using my wattpad again, since I've been writing so much, but not all things work out as they should. Which brings me to the last part of my bio. I'm going to leave you with my most recent favorite quote, that seems to pertain to my writing on a spiritual level. So until I post my next story, peace out, home scout.
