We call this brand of letting it out :

*soft stories* 

noun.
-the stories that reveal our most vulnerable, tender selves.

They're the stories we don’t usually tell in a job interview, to acquaintances, or on a first date. Most times we don’t even share the entirety of them with our closest friends.

They’re the parts of ourselves that can make us feel isolated, embarrassed and less adequate -- and sharing them requires presence and vulnerability. But by *LETTING THEM OUT* we can connect.

Being a human person with feelings it a lot, but what makes it a little easier is that, someone (likely many people) understand what you’ve been through and what you’ll go through. Revealing our *soft stories* connects us and making us feel less alone in a world with so much division and isolation. If we were more honest with each other, we could see each other and connect.

LET IT OUT is a space for that.
