About The Stories That Last

In many ways, the sharing of stories has saved my life.

TheStoriesThatLast.com is a place for telling all sorts of stories, from profound and pivotal to simple and ordinary. A safe refuge for everyday deep thinkers, poets, and trailblazers, it is a place to connect, encourage, and inspire one another.

There are hundreds of everyday moments that have shaped us into who we are today. And they happened at a kitchen sink, on the steps at middle school, or in the backyard. Our experiences can make or break us. When they break us, it feels like we'll be broken forever. When they make us, we leap forward in spiritual, mental, or emotional growth.

Sharing your story could catapult another human being from a pit of despair into hope and inspire them to take positive action. TheStoriesThatLast.com wants to ignite your thoughts, inspire you to think beyond self-constructed barriers, and tap into your sense of wonder.

Stories are more than words: they have the power to build bridges that connect us, heal us, and remind us that we are not alone.

Freedom Under the Radar

If you would like to preserve and protect your privacy, this website offers "handles" to identify the writer. A handle is basically a unique nickname or username. For example, a fun handle could be PunAndGames and an intriguing handle ShadowHunter. We hope that the option of anonymity on this site will help remove any obstacles to freely sharing your words.

The Big Reveal

The ultimate vision of TheStoriesThatLast.com is bringing this community of writers and possibility thinkers together—literally.

Imagine being surrounded by the people who have positively impacted your life by simply sharing their stories, poems, or deep thoughts.

It might be a once-per-year face-to-face gathering with topical breakout sessions. It could be quarterly digital meetup on Zoom. Stay tuned for updates as this site evolves.

Let's build something meaningful together.
