Share Your Story

Over the last couple months, I've been playing around with an idea. Primarily this blog has just been me opening up and venting about life for me and my own struggles. But I've wondered if it could be something more. I've been watching vlogs and reading some blogs and social media sites where they've asked people to come forward with their own personal stories and just sort of share them. Some have been about mental and emotional struggles, others have been about over coming physical obstacles and restraints. My best friend is one who has done this, and she encouraged me to do this. So on one of my social medias, my account "keeperofthewarehouse" on Instagram, I opened up a chance for my followers to send me in their stories for me to publish on this blog. This isn't a time to bash, to criticize, to "help" by pointing out all their errors. Like the original purpose of this blog, it's a place to open up in hopes someone else understands, and gains comfort, hope, or simply to know they're not alone.
I really don't know if anyone will respond or want to send in but the opportunity is out there. I open the chance to my readers too, though unfortunately I have no way for you to submit on here, other than through the comments, which I moderate. If you wish to do that I'd love to publish your stories and accounts. Even if it is brief, I don't mind. This isn't preaching, it's not criticizing, it's outreach. We're just looking to find hope and strength in each other and remind each other we're going to make it.
