Ashley Young strives to make people feel seen and appreciated.

If a friend is having a bad day, she'll send them a text telling them they're the best at their job. She'll tell a coworker they're doing great at a task that may seem monotonous. She makes sure to get a bag of gummy bears for her husband every grocery trip, leaving them for him on his bedside stand. 

"It just feels good to be thought of," Young said. "I think that's what, at the end of the day, everybody wants: to be a thought, to feel important and loved."
