Hello Strangers,
This past year has been a personal struggle for me, with a lot of unfortunate life events. I apologize for dropping off the face of the Earth for a while, but I was simply overwhelmed by coursework and the often depressing letters I have received. I needed to stop for a while, focus on graduating, and decide whether or not the project is something that I wish to continue.
I have decided that although the project can be heartbreaking as well as wonderful, I would like to continue to provide a place for people to send their stories. Now that I have graduated from college and can devote my full attention to the project, Letters From Strangers will be continued.
I will have to get a new PO box before I can accept new letters (for safety reasons), and I unfortunately do not have the money to afford it at the moment. I will possibly be starting some form of kickstarter in order to finance this blog. However, I am always accepting email submissions.
Any letters that are still in my possession will be mailed out, ASAP.
Thank you so much to anyone who has written, shared, or supported my project.
Katie Pollis
P.S.- Look for a new update this Sunday!
