Ashley Ford on Choosing Reality

Jul 6

“I was trying to base my feelings about the circumstances of my life off of fantasies, and what things should be like, or what people should be like. It took a minute for me to figure out that if you keep trying to live inside a fantasy, you’re going to be pretty miserable.”

Ford is the former co-host of The HBO companion podcast Lovecraft Country Radio, and the current host of Ben & Jerry’s Into The Mix.
