Adding a "Life Stories" section to the forum

Adding a "Life Stories" section to the forum
I think this would be a great resource for people. I'm sure a lot of people have life stories, including myself, that they would like to share, but there is no proper forum to post under.

For instance I want to post and discuss something that was said in my English class about other mythical religions, however, I don't want to post it under atheism or else I would have to turn it in to a question about religious peoples in general. I don't want to post it in Introductions under Atheism stories, because it's not pertaining to that, as that is very specific. I don't want to post it in any Relion sub forums, as it really has no place belonging there. No, not anywhere in any of the forums under the science category. The only places that I would consider would be "Off Topic" and "Arts" for the Discussion forum section. However, Off Topic? I mean, i'm sharing a personal experience, it wouldn't really belong in a place where you are supposed to discuss topics, as it's not really a topic, just a call for opinion and comment on a personal experience. Arts? No, that's more when talking about a subject, and the subject probably shouldn't be myself, unless I again wanted to turn this in to a more broad question, but I don't really.


^ That's my thinking ^

TLDR; Add a forum for "Life Stories" under the "Discussion" section, possibly relocate "Convert's Corner" in to this forum, as it does not necessarily belong in the introductions forum, or would simply more appropriately belong in a Life Stories type forum. 

I think even if you don't see this as beneficial now, if added, a lot of posts would start rolling in, because disregarding the forum, and subject, it's human nature to want to share personal experiences with others, and my guess is a lot of people would want to share some life stories and look for opinions, possibly advice.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

Introductions forum itself isn't a bad place for something like that... you're introducing us to your life... inviting us into it.

Bumping.... but see, even if we did add a 'life stories' subforum: it would still probably go under introductions. My six pence.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

I think that's stretching it, and it would be much more helpful and less confusing to add just simply a life stories part, instead of trying to pack it in to one, or the other.

We are born, we die, we go to heaven and play the harp all day with Morgan Freeman looking on with that look in his eyes!

Nah, I think Morgan would be playing the Organ, now that he's a Freeman!

Yes sadly most of the rock and roll industry does...
