Bellingham Locals - Personal Stories & Reflections

I’d love to hear your stories! Hello everyone, I am a born and raised Bellingham local looking to hear your stories; not necessarily about Bellingham, but about your lives, lessons or stories you’d wish to share with the world. I am starting this project called “The Practice of Sonder”. Sonder is the sudden, profound realization that every random stranger is living a life as vivid, complex, and real as your own. The purpose is to remind people of this very premise, that all of us are having the human experience. I am hoping will give many the opportunity share their wisdom, feel a little less alone and to maybe widen their perspectives. This project is still very young and relatively small, so I am currently in the beginnings of setting up a website/host website for which to post. These writings will vary in format; some from my own perspective or observations, some simply the message you are intending to share, simple quotes, reflections, etc. The good, Bad and the Ugly! Anybody would have the option to remain anonymous or to purely communicate through email; if there are any other accommodations to be made we can discuss. Making this extremely clear, this project is intended to connect us through the shared experience of humanity. The only things that will not be published is anything pertaining to specific political ideals or hate speech in any capacity. Anything written about a sensitive matter will have a warning. If you have any interest in learning more or contributing, please DM or shoot an email out to [email redacted] Thank you all kindly, feel free to ask questions!
