Dear Stranger,

June is here.

This month’s prompt is about forgiveness. The kind we give ourselves. The mistakes we’ve made peace with and the things we’re still learning to let go of.

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.

What to Expect as a Free Subscriber

After the exchanges, you'll receive selected anonymous letters from this month's exchanges. Not all exchanges are shared, only some from the writers have chosen to make public.

You can also explore our growing archive:

  • December’s Letters - moments we return to

  • January’s Letters - what we’re leaving behind and hoping to find

  • February’s Letters - unspoken love

  • March’s Letters - what we’ve been protecting

  • April’s Letters - what we’re running from

  • May's Letters - moments that play on repeat
