Community Values
Effective Date: April 24, 2025 (Last Updated: May 9, 2025)

At Recollections Within, we believe that sharing stories is a powerful act of connection, healing, and reflection. Our community is built on trust, respect, and care for one another. These values are at the heart of everything we do.

We welcome all women, including trans women, and anyone who identifies with our mission. In this space, we ask that you help us nurture the following values:

1. Kindness and Compassion

We listen with open hearts. We treat each other with patience, empathy, and understanding, especially during vulnerable moments.

2. Respect for Personal Stories

Each story shared here is a gift. Please honor the bravery it takes to share by responding with thoughtfulness. Avoid judgment, advice-giving, or comparing experiences unless support is clearly welcomed

3. Inclusivity

We celebrate the many ways womanhood can be experienced. This space is for everyone who finds meaning in our mission, regardless of background, identity, boundaries or lived experience. No one should feel pressured to conform, explain, or justify their orientations, feelings or attractions. This is a space where consent, self-knowledge, and authenticity are valued above all.

4. Gentle Encouragement

This is not a place for pressure or performance. You are welcome to participate in your own time, in your own way. Silence is honored just as much as sharing.

5. Privacy and Trust

We hold each other’s words with care. What’s shared in confidence stays within the community. Screenshots and reposts of others’ stories or comments are never allowed without permission.

These values are not rules to follow perfectly, but deeply held principles we strive to embody. Thank you for helping us hold this space with care.
