I have set up three simple email addresses, each with its own purpose. You don’t have to worry too much about choosing the “right one”—I’ll read them all. But this may help:
General Questions or Messages
If you just want to ask something about the site, share feedback, or reach out for any reason, you can write to:
👉 [email protected]
Sharing Your Story
If you’d like to send in a personal story to be published on the Stories page, this is the best place to send it:
👉 [email protected]
You don’t have to be a professional writer. You can write as much or as little as you want. Some people share a single moment in a few lines; others write long letters. What matters is honesty. If you give me permission, I will publish it so that others can read, connect, and know they’re not alone.
When You’re Struggling
If you’re going through a difficult time, or if you just need someone to hear you out, you can write to:
👉 [email protected]
Please know: I am not a licensed therapist or counselor. I cannot provide professional advice. But I can listen, and I can remind you that you are not alone. Sometimes simply writing your thoughts down and sending them into the world—even if it’s just to one person—can help lighten the weight you’re carrying.
💌 Why Email?
I chose email on purpose. In a world of instant messages and short replies, email allows you to slow down. You can take your time, put your feelings into words, and send them when you’re ready. Writing can be a way of breathing. It doesn’t have to be polished; it just has to be yours.
Many people who visit this site, myself included, struggle with social anxiety. Talking face-to-face can feel overwhelming. Even sending a quick message on social media can feel too exposed. But email is private, personal, and unhurried. It gives you space to say what you want, at your own pace.
🌱 What Happens Next
When you send me a message, I can’t promise an instant reply. I’m just one person, and like you, I’m juggling work, life, and my own struggles. But I do promise that I will read your words carefully. Every email that arrives is a reminder of why this site exists—to create connection out of silence.
If you submit a story, I may ask if you’d like it to be published. You are always free to say no. You are also free to remain anonymous or use a pen name. This is your story, and you decide how it’s shared.
❤️ A Final Note
Reaching out takes courage. Even clicking “send” can feel like a big step. If you’re here reading this page, I want to thank you. Whether you choose to write or not, you’re part of what makes this site meaningful.
So please, whenever you’re ready, write to me. Share a story, ask a question, or simply say hello. This space exists because of people like you—people who have felt something real, even if they never spoke it out loud.
I look forward to hearing from you.
