What is it? Being in a romantic relationship. To be honest, I’m twenty-three, and I’ve never even held hands romantically with a guy. I’ve never had my first kiss, and I’ve never been on a date. At times, I feel that no one is attracted to me, and as time goes on, I’m afraid I’m becoming less attracted myself. For the longest, I was strongly against being in a relationship. Every time I met a new friend and she mentioned...]]></description><link>https://ashleynpoe19.wixsite.com/twentyruminations/post/the-betrayal-of-my-heart</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69bd6115401a0b244dff4139</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:20:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/41f8c7_d07d9f03e73f448397dba8ed0461fca3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_900,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleynpoe19</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Forlorn in my Heart]]></title><description><![CDATA[It's getting cold out My mornings are slow and barren The long drives at night Remind me of the forlorn in my heart I never used to imagine a life like this Without you The only one who knew all the parts of me I stand in place But I know I'd never run back Anxiety and fear bubble beneath The ground threatening to break Months ago I could tell you about it And now I'll stare at the empty picture of us]]></description><link>https://ashleynpoe19.wixsite.com/twentyruminations/post/the-forlorn-in-my-heart</link><guid isPermaLink="false">695eadfcce09b1c26612d870</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2026 19:04:10 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ashleynpoe19</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nostalgia Won't Save Me]]></title><description><![CDATA[As the new year begins, (Happy New Year!) I cannot help but think about everything I have gone through. More importantly, the things, and the people I have lost. Bits and pieces of my innocence chipped away, laughter from friends replaced with silence, late car rides are now dark and lonely, and I am lost on the drive. I don't know where to go from here, which road to take, where do I even stop? So, I turn around. I go back to the past, to the start of it all. There lie my memories of old,...]]></description><link>https://ashleynpoe19.wixsite.com/twentyruminations/post/nostalgia-won-t-save-me</link><guid isPermaLink="false">695c6e887d25e886c5341c57</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:59:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/41f8c7_dd8ca65349824e94b71d5bbd35c8de64~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleynpoe19</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exploring Something New - Ballet Class]]></title><description><![CDATA[I recently went to a ballet class, an absolute beginner ballet class actually. Throughout my years of being a young adult, even in my teen years, I was told how I looked like a ballerina. When I told people I danced, they asked if I did contemporary or ballet, never hip-hop, which is what I mainly dance to. My grandma tells me all the time that she wishes I did ballet when I was younger, and my parents have mentioned I almost did. Why I didn't? I truly do not know. I regret that all the time,...]]></description><link>https://ashleynpoe19.wixsite.com/twentyruminations/post/exploring-something-new-ballet-class</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6951d02ba485256111535015</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Dec 2025 01:22:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/41f8c7_a67fbc1e6a49490ab721776d3a103dd7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_460,h_308,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleynpoe19</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Coming of Autumn]]></title><description><![CDATA[I know it's only August, and fall isn't until the 22nd of September, but I cannot help but get extremely excited for it.
