Hi, besties. Welcome back to Trinidad to Care or if you're new here. Hello, welcome to

to Trinidad to Care. My name is new here. Hello, welcome to Trinette to Care.

My name is Ashley. I am a very emotional 26 year old who likes to share all of her thoughts with

anyone who will listen. I'd like to say that this is my not so personal diary, my therapy,
