Dear October 10, 2006 Ashlee,

Please stop thinking and do in your heart what you know is right, what you want to do. Stop worrying about what other people will think. It doesn't matter. I don't know how things will turn out, but even when I try to imagine the worse case scenario (we're good at that) I know it's not worse than the feeling of not trying to say good-bye. The only thing I can guarantee you is that tomorrow will be too late.


Love,
Still no good at saying hard things Ashlee

Just do it!

Dear 7th Grade Ashlee,

Do your math homework!

Love,

Every Ashlee After you!

Dear 3rd Grade Ashlee,

Don't wish for glasses. Your wish comes true. No matter how hard future Ashlees wish our eyesight does not improve. Glasses are not so fun.

Love,
All future blind Ashlees

Nine Majors is Two Too Many.

Dear Freshman (in college) Ashlee, 

I have so much advice for you, there are so many things you should know. But, let's start here...nine majors is a little bit of overkill. I'm going to make it easy for you, in order to change history in the least amount I'm just going to say this. GO WITH SOCIOLOGY. It won't help you reach your goals, it's not actually where you'll end up, it's not even a little bit the choice, but it's the beginning step of the road less traveled. Avoid all science majors, business majors, journalism majors, education majors, and let go of the dream of minoring in French. I can tell you right now it's just not going to happen. Take the classes you enjoy try to do well in them and you'll figure out the right direction...eventually. 

I'll be back to talk to you, you need a lot of help!

Love,
I might choose to relive my freshman year if given the choice Ashlee

Not so brave anymore

Dear fearless (ha!) Ashlee,

Enjoy roller coasters while you can. I hate to be the one to break it to you but somewhere along the way in your old age you developed a fear of heights. This really makes roller coasters no fun. So ride as many as you can before it brings you to tears.

Love,
Afraid of even more Ashlee

The cure for anything is saltwater.

Dear Lives in Florida Ashlee,

Enjoy the beach. I know you take for granted that it takes you five minutes to get there, but someday you'll long to be able to spend some quality time thinking while listening to the sound of the waves. So go as often as you can and just enjoy everything it has to offer. Remember to protect your skin while you're there, tan skin is not worth the wrinkles. I promise!

Love,
