What's the reason?
I'll keep it brief.
For those of you who know me personally, I know you’re wondering what the heck is this? For those of you who don’t know me, hi there! I’m Ashlee Robyn, a walking conundrum. I’m so private, so reserved, so hush hush yet still, I just created a whole entire newsletter.
My favorite form of expression is writing. It always has been since as far back as I can remember. My 7-year-old self would be cheesing so hard right now because writing has always been so freeing to me. I’ve always opted for getting my feelings and thoughts out with a pen and paper or in modern times, fingers and keypads1. I’ve always kept a form of written diary, whether in a book or on my phone or on my iPad. I’ve also been writing annual letters to myself since I was 23 years old and those are so fun.
This communication is to serve as a journal yes, but also a conversation piece, a fountain of knowledge, a way to share interests with like-minded people, discuss different viewpoints on certain topics, provide support for people who are like me, yadda yadda yadda. You get the point. This isn’t for celebrity drama, conspiracy theories or those harsh controversial subjects.
The aim is for this to feel like a breath of fresh air for me and you the reader.

I hesitate, overanalyze and hold back a lot when expressing myself verbally. All the things I tend to not say in conversation will most likely be here in these letters.
