A journal experience designed for complete catharsis.

What would you leave behind if you had the chance?

I Never Want To Talk About This Again is a growing collection of stories submitted by people all over the world, who write down everything from small grievances to unthinkable tragedies to inspiring moments of triumph and resilience.

Anyone, anywhere can participate. No two stories are the same, but they all share the same promise from the people who write them — that they will finally leave this thing, whatever it is, behind.

Over 200 research studies have reported that “emotional writing” can improve people’s physical and emotional health.

what do people write about? mostly their exes, existential crises, cheating, lying, dying, drinking, loving, leaving, bad parents, bad health, bad habits, smashing the patriarchy, selling out, getting older, getting sick, getting everything, getting hit, hitting rock bottom, it doesn’t really matter what you write, so long as you promise to let it go for good.
