Exploring the Evolution of Literally Darling Over a Decade

Literally, Darling launched in May of 2013 with a ragtag group of millennial women looking to share their stories, understand their lives, and come together as a generation that found itself lost at sea.

Over the years, our magazine has evolved along with the women who write for it – we’ve grown older and perhaps a bit more cynical – but with that age has come the experience of knowing what we do – and don’t – want. We’ve learned to stand up for ourselves by helping others do the same. We have created a community of women standing shoulder-to-shoulder with one another.

The Early Days of Literally Darling

In its inception, Literally Darling was a vibrant platform where stories of youthful exuberance and the uncertain journey to adulthood were shared openly. The original contributors brought their raw experiences and diverse voices, creating a blend of content that was both relatable and thought-provoking. From navigating early career choices to tackling personal identity challenges, the early articles captured the essence of millennial life.

Growth and Change

As the years rolled on, the evolution of Literally Darling mirrored the personal growth of its writers. The magazine expanded its scope to cover more complex and pressing issues such as mental health, social justice, and the multifaceted nature of modern womanhood. The shift wasn’t just in content but in the tone as well—moving from an exploratory narrative to a more assertive and informed voice.

Building a Supportive Community

Central to the identity of Literally Darling is the community it has fostered. Women from all walks of life have found a sense of belonging within its digital confines. The strength of this community lies in its diversity and the shared belief that each story has the power to inspire, educate, and galvanize others.
