Florida

Sunshine, salt air and a life worth telling, in your words.

Florida is a place of marshes and mangroves, old Spanish stone and brand new neighborhoods. However you came to call it home, your view of it is worth keeping.

Try it free for 7 days. Only you can see your record. Never public or searchable.

Where did your Florida story begin, and when did it first start to feel like home?

Whether you were born near the mangroves or arrived with a moving truck, your Florida is unlike anyone else's. Keep it private for as long as you live: no audience, no followers, just a daily question and your honest answer. Some day the people you trust will read about the springs, the storms and the neighbors with flashlights.

Only you can see your answers while you live.

Florida

Your Florida, in your own words

Wild water

Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres of wetland, forest and marine habitat, and it helps supply drinking water to South Florida. Visitors may spot alligators, wading birds, turtles and fish. What wild places do you love here? A spring you swim in, a boat ramp at dawn, a backyard pond that herons visit? Describe them so clearly that someone years from now can picture every bit of it. Wild Florida is part of your story.

Old stone in St. Augustine

In St. Augustine, the Spanish built the Castillo de San Marcos to defend Florida and the Atlantic trade route. It is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. If you came to Florida from somewhere else, where did your story here begin? Write about the move, the first place you lived, the first friend you made and the moment it started to feel like home. Born here instead? Tell what the newcomers taught you, and what you taught them.

Your own Florida calendar

Life here keeps its own calendar, and everyone marks it a little differently: a favorite fish fry, a holiday on the beach, the night a storm knocked the power out and the neighbors came over with flashlights. What are the days you look forward to every year? Tell about them, and about who is always there. The people you love will treasure knowing how you spent your seasons. Big days or small, they are all worth writing down.
