Ash of Pompeii

My name is Ash and I am a slave. As far as I can tell, the year is 1300 A.D and I'm being dragged to my death. It wasn't always like this, I had a normal life, once.
It's all about whether you see a rising sun or a setting sun.
The choice is yours: how will you live your life?
I'm looking forward to the future with more optimism, hope, and self-respect than I've ever known before.
I have Dysthymia , General Anxiety Disorder , Panic Disorder , and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder .
It's one of the most difficult and terrifying things I've ever been through, but I have faith that I can beat this and come out stronger than I've ever been, because that's what I do.
I also have Hypothyroidism . It was untreated for years. I was born with Hashimoto's Disease, an autoimmune disease that attacks and kills the thyroid gland. I never took it very seriously until recently when it almost killed me.

Nick is the most amazing person I have ever met. He is my best friend, my true love, and my anchor. I wouldn't have gotten through the past few months as well as I did without him.
