Hi I am Andrew Ash
and I am originally from West Yorkshire and now I live in East Yorkshire And I live On the Yorkshire coast.
I was in the care system at the age of eight to the age of 16. when I left I had no one to turn to And I was now on my own And I had no formal qualifications To get a job The care system juice doesn't seem to want to teach you anything. in fact they didn't even teach you the exams never mind doing them so I was never asked to sit the exams.
I finally took my first exam at 19 when I sat the exam in college. I was studying camera and video editing and radio production city and Guilds level one I started college at 18 and past the course with flying colours. To be fair the college gave me because of my disabilities a special package and a private tutor and a notetaker, Plus extra time to do the course and Sit the exam In.
I then did some work on the hospital radio for a couple of hours a week which I really enjoyed doing and then I went to London where I went to naypic - National Association of Young People in Care - as I had been a victim of abuse from the age of 8 to 20 in and out of The Care System And now I am 45 and thanks to the National Association of young people in care I was able to turn my life round.
Today I am a full-time carer for the disabled. And I still stand up for the abused in carer and still doing things on it as well as doing things for the disabled and I still campaign when I can.

I have always enjoyed writing. Recently I have found time to indulge myself a little more. Inspiration usually comes from the sea, rivers, streams ... the sound of them, the smell of them and the sight of them. Sometimes poetical, sometimes serious, often from the deck of an old Scottish ring net fishing boat Shemaron.
Shemaron has become the vehicle through which I can live closer to nature, even if it is only for a few days at a time the experience always takes my breath away!

Military for 40 years without ever joining. 17 yrs with dad and 23 with the ex. Europe, central and south America, and the great United States of America, have been my playground. The life of a daughter, wife, mother and now a 15 year divorcee of men who had dreams and daughters I no longer know. I lived dreams beyond anything I could have imagined. I just went with it and the ride was awesome, even if filled with challenges. Dreams of espionage and dangerous missions, families left behind .... Well that was them, yes and me, but my story is yet to be told. I wonder if I really have a dream, a story. Well I'm about to find out. I'm just gonna write..write here.That was then this is now.

Finding time to write has been tough, but it's too ingrained to stop now. The problem is going back to finish works I started three years ago while the shiny new thing jumps up and down and screams my name.
Anyway, I may not finish all of what I start to write, but I'm going to have fun trying. Thanks for stopping by, reading my stories and poems, and (maybe) leaving a comment (or TWO). Blessings all ways.

The pain we experience now can no where near compare to the joy that will come in our future

I am just a college student, who would of never thought that she would be writing just random thoughts or opinions.
It has just become a way of life for me to express myself through writing and it is GREAT!

The ones who read have read my highs and my lows in my life and I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking time to read them

Thanks to those who read my pieces, as simple as they are :)

Some days are golden. Moments overwhelm you with beauty and light and make you feel you might explode. Other days are a dull grey, or black, or just empty, and you drift from moment to moment wondering what that fleeting, nameless sensation you feel about your heart is. It seems to me that too often feelings cannot catch up with thoughts, or perhaps it is the other way around, and what we feel cannot be put into coherent words or even thoughts, because it is the metaphysical and is not meant to be explained or analysed. Our lives are made up of moments and thoughts. This is a way to recording some of mine.

I'm here to write about what is on my mind or going on in my life, the good and the bad. Life is a rollercoaster, and sometimes we need a bit of a release.

Glutton for punishment.

Just a female with ups and downs and ins and outs. Looking to meet people that know everything about things I know nothing about. Trying to find a place to let out all the ways I feel and put them down in words to help my ownself move forward and anyone else I meet on the way.

I have been amused my entire life. I have also realized that I'm a "seeker of truth," which is often clouded within the swirling vapors of politics, religion and hogwash. My greatest joy is writing. My books, stories, observations, rants and on occasion, nonsense.

I hope to experience an epiphany of excellent enlightenment and new found wisdom in my elder years, if not, I will most likely just open a stall at the local flea market, sell collectible lunch boxes and drink beer. I do hope you will take time and indulge yourself in a few of my scripts and if you enjoy them, then I'm happy. If they are not to your taste, well then bite me.

Thanks......Charlie

My only goal in life is to experience everything. Because I know that is impossible for one life time, I try to experience through other peoples stories, poems and ideas. I try to write to express my experience in such a way you can feel it the exact same way I felt it, which might be a feeling you have never had the opportunity to feel due to your personal situation. In writing I look for whether or not I can connect to a piece of writing to a point it makes me feel like I have an idea of what the experience or emotion the writer is conveying actually is. I want finish the reading feeling like something I have felt and can relate to was very accurately described, or experience a feeling I've never had the opportunity to before.

When an individual writes, they share a piece of them...you get a free pass into their mind and maybe get to know what they like to share with the world and what they would rather keep a secret because that you will not find published. For me, writing is an escape...a way to communicate my thoughts with the world. Welcome to my mind...although it is a censored version
