December Letters

Monthly anonymous letter exchanges between strangers around the world.

Dear Stranger,

Month two.

The letters are coming. The exchanges continue. Thank you for being part of this, whether you wrote in November or you’re joining us for the first time now.

December’s prompt invites us to explore memory. Not the big, obvious moments but the quiet ones. The scenes that replay in our minds. The moments we return to again and again.

Over the next ten days, paid subscribers will write anonymous letters in response to this month’s theme. I’ll read every one, pair them thoughtfully, and send exchanges by mid-month.

A Reminder About This Space

If you’re new here, a few things to know:

Dear Stranger is a space for:

• Honesty without consequence

• Vulnerability without judgment

• Connection without identity

• Truths that need somewhere to go

We protect each other’s anonymity. We hold each other’s words gently. We witness without trying to fix.

If you haven’t yet, read the Guidelines to understand what makes this space safe for everyone.
