May Letters
Monthly anonymous letter exchanges between strangers around the world.
Dear Stranger,
May is here.
This month’s prompt is about the moments we replay. The scenes that loop in our minds. The memories we return to again and again, even when we’re not trying to.
What moment plays on repeat for you? And what are you looking for when you go back there?
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
