People call an anonymous phone line and tell us things they've never told anyone. Then I mail their stories to strangers. What would you say if no one knew it was you?
I started a project called Dear Stranger. The short version: people send in letters, stories, and voicemails...addressed to no one in particular then we mail them out to strangers around the world.
I'm not asking you to buy anything. Submitting your story is completely free and always will be. I'm here because I've learned something from reading the submission queue: almost everyone is carrying a story they have never shared that might have the imapct to chnage somone else life acorss the world.
Some of what's come in so far...
A letter to a father who's been gone ten years, full of all the things that went unsaid. Advice from a 70 year old addressed to "whoever needs this at 22." A man describing his grandfather's garage in perfect detail...every tool, every smell just so it would exist somewhere after him. A recipe, with the story of the woman who made it every Sunday.
None of these people are writers. They just had something to say and nowhere impactful to share it.
If that's you, there are two ways to do it:
Write or voice record it: dearstranger.club/story — there's a form, and you can even record audio right in your browser if talking is easier than typing.
Or just call and talk: +1 (863) 366-5685. It's an anonymous line. No name, no callback, no one picks up. You leave your story like a voicemail to the wolrd.
Say it to a stranger. Sometimes that's the only person who can hear it right.
