Stories connect us. That's why we're here.
In a world of infinite noise, we created a quiet place for the stories that matter. The ones that make us laugh, cry, think, and feel less alone.
Our Beginning
It started with a simple question
What if there was a place on the internet that felt like sitting around a campfire? A place where strangers became friends through the simple act of sharing what they've lived through?
That question became Share a Cool Story. Not a platform obsessed with metrics or virality, but a community built on something older and more human: the belief that our stories, honestly told, have the power to change lives.
Today, thousands of storytellers call this place home. They come from different backgrounds, hold different beliefs, and have lived vastly different lives. But they share one thing: the courage to be vulnerable, and the generosity to share what they've learned.
What We Believe
Principles that guide everything we do
Truth over perfection
The best stories aren't polished performances. They're honest accounts of messy, complicated, beautifully human lives. We celebrate authenticity above all else.
Generosity of spirit
Sharing your story is an act of generosity. Reading someone else's with an open heart is too. We built this space for people who approach both with care.
Slow and thoughtful
In an age of endless scrolling, we're intentionally different. Every story here deserves to be read slowly, savored, and carried with you long after you've finished.
Our Expectations
How we treat each other here
Lead with kindness
Every story here represents a real person who took a risk by sharing. Honor that vulnerability with thoughtful, compassionate responses.
Share what's yours to share
Your story is your own. When telling it involves others, do so with care and respect for their privacy and dignity.
Create space for everyone
This community thrives on diverse perspectives. Make room for voices different from your own. Listen more than you speak.
We'd love to hear from you
