    Hello friends, let’s catch up! :D In today’s chatty video, I answer your questions from Instagram about mental health, what I’ve been doing in quarantine, moving to NYC with royally bad timing, screenwriting, questioning my sexuality, whether I have girl/boyfriend, sustainability, and more importantly, who is my favorite Avatar character. Sorry I haven't sat down and really talked to the camera in a while - it's been hard to film when I'm in the sad vibes zone which has been increasingly often of late, but it felt nice to catch up with you guys, and hopefully as quarantine restrictions lift, I'll start feelin a little better :)

      @@reneemuller1967 It comes from a lifetime of hearing that being gay is wrong. Kind of a bad comparison, but imagine the adrenaline and fear you'd feel if you robbed a bank. It's this fear that you feel when you do something that has been in the Forbidden Category your whole life. I remember on my first date with a girl, I was so awkward and shaky because I kept feeling like I was breaking a rule. Of course, it's just the internalized homophobia from my mom always saying that being gay is "disgusting" and "shameful to god", but it definitely trips you up for a while.

      It's gonna come very naturally dude, don't you worry. I didn't have my first kiss and relationship until I was 17, which was kinda weird, I felt kinda inexperienced but at the end was a great decision. Try to wait for someone who you're naturally drawn to, who really works well with you. The first kiss can suck tho, you should keep that in mind, tongues are awkward, but you'll learn to do it better with time.

    This girl doesn't know how much she helped 17-year-old me, even I didn't realize it at the time. But she was an older-sister figure when I was living abroad with no friends and apart from my family. Watching her videos always felt like a cozy chat with an old friend, her perspective on things like sexuality(especially the shame that comes with being socialized as a woman), self-image, relationships, just anything, they really helped me connect with myself and my own thoughts and beginning to form a perception of who I am as a person. I'm very thankful for the time she spent on youtube, even if she decides that it isn't the medium for her anymore, because the footprint that she left is enough. Watching her old videos after a long time feels like a warm hug. Thank you, Ashley

It could be a new shirt in a men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black, coffee.”

    There’s this saying in the Bah’ai Faith that goes “wherever you go, there you are.” And what that means is that we live our entire lives inside our heads, and that wherever you go, you’re you. There you are. And this can be positive and negative and anything in between. Changing your environment can help. But the only way out is through sometimes. We have to face our issues head on, without fear or trepidation, and solve them within ourselves before we can find peace. And we do that with community, with understanding, with care for our fellow human beings and for something bigger and more important outside of ourselves. And ourselves as well. We deserve love. And to love anyone else, it starts there. You can’t give someone else a life saving breathing device on a plane until you can give yourself that. You’re lovely. You’re worthy of love. And once you understand that, you can help the most people.

      YES! It was only my mother at the time and I considered my sexuality in conversation with her (she had assumed I was a lesbian, I then identified as bi for a short time before finding out about pansexuality, which is a label I've used for years now), but for *years* (and even currently, if I'm honest) I would constantly think to myself that the only reason I thought I was bi or then pan was because I wanted to be trendy or quirky, despite the fact that my mother was supportive and I grew up in a (somewhat) inclusive household/area.
      I never had to come out to my father (he was in prison whilst I was questioning, and my mother had told him herself), and I avoid coming out to extended family members to this day, despite the fact that I have LGBT+ family friends that they are perfectly supportive of, because I feel sick to my stomach at the thought. I'm so glad internalised homophobia is getting talked about in more conversations, because the only reason I realised it wasn't so widely known was because one of my best friends (one of the only straight people in my friendship group) laughed when I mentioned it because she didn't think it existed.

There’s so much pressure that comes with them, and for some reason society really just hammers in that everyone has to have them? It’s all just labels on labels on labels. It’s ok the feel the way you feel and not be able to describe it! In fact, it’s beautiful! So stop putting so much pressure on yourself!

Sustainability IS important but at the same time it's become so blatantly privileged that I honestly can't take it seriously anymore. And I also think that shaming day to day consumers for "contributing to capitalism" is one of the biggest forms of actual late capitalism that exists right now.

Did your parents or is it the modern culture that has done a number on your self-esteem? Your awesome, creative pretty, smart, and successful just let yourself enjoy it. you need to love yourself and whatever childhood trauma you refer to, examine it, write about it, scream about it but let it go. Stop thinking about it and focus on all the good shit in your life, Take it from someone who knows, just love yourself. You are amazing!

    Having a kink doesn’t mean you aren’t a feminist. Feminism is not about all women living and thinking one way. It’s the freedom of choice. To choose for yourself how you want to be and live. Traditional or modern, stay at home mom or career gal, vanilla or kinky. It’s for you to decide. Not men, not society, and not other women. One way of thinking is not superior to another.

    Clubbing is one of the things I miss the most atm; social life is almost back to normal here in Germany, but Clubs have not opened yet. Just letting everything out, becoming a part of the mass that’s moving to the beat in a dimly lit room, losing all sense of self, yet expressing everything so personal trapped inside to the sound of the beat is so relieving while realizing that all you worried about isn’t that important. Dancing to me is a very important part of self expression and I just miss it so much.

    Thank you for your eye opening perspective on sustainability. Your words clarified my latent anxious feelings about the costly consumerist centric approach to the trend of living sustainably & how it benefits the priviledged vs the frugal lived lives of many 'other' people from 'other' economic backgrounds and their approach to managing/surviving consumerism in their usual course of daily life.
