Let it Stay Here
Leave what weighs on your heart. It will be safe here.
Some things don't need to follow you home.
You don't have to make sense of it first.
Maybe it's something these pages brought back.
Maybe it's something you've carried for years.
Maybe you don't even have words for it yet.
You don't have to explain it beautifully here.
You don't have to find the right words.
You carried it far enough.
Whatever brought you here, you can leave it here.
What would you like to leave here tonight?
There is no right way to write this.
Say as much or as little as you need.
Nothing you write here requires you to identify yourself.
Keep this private
Your words will not be published or displayed on the Porch.
Leave this on the Porch
Your words may be shared anonymously, after review, so someone else might know they aren't alone.
Whatever you chose, it stays here.
You don't have to leave just yet.
The fire is warm. The porch is quiet.
If you need a few more minutes, there's a chair waiting for you.
Or close the page. Nothing more is expected of you.
Some things are lighter once they're shared.
Left on The Porch
Some things were never meant to be carried forever. These are words others chose to leave behind.
You do not have to carry everything just because you can.

I am allowed to put down what was never mine to carry.

I am learning that choosing peace does not require permission.
