About Life in Text
Every life is worth writing down.
Life in Text is a journal and a community in one. Write for yourself, share with the world, or tell the truth without your name on it. Then read the lives of people you would never otherwise meet.
What we believe
Four things we won’t compromise on.
Your story, your control
Every entry is public, private or anonymous, and you can change it later from your journal.
Kindness by default
Comments you can turn off when you post, and moderation that protects people who open up.
Help finding the words
Writing prompts for the blank page. Your voice always stays yours.
Shared on your terms
Share a story with the people you choose, or gather everyone at an event.
What you can do here
One place for your whole story.

Our privacy promises
Private means private.
People tell us things here they have never told anyone. We treat that with the care it deserves.
Private entries stay yours
Never shown in feeds or search, never visible to other members.
Anonymous really is anonymous
No name, photo or profile link on anonymous posts, and no way to trace them back to you from the site.
You decide who reads
Change an entry’s privacy later, share it with specific people, or turn comments off.
Take your words with you
Save any entry as a PDF, whenever you like.
Your story matters. Start it today.
Your first entry is private until you decide otherwise.
