This is in the context of forwarded emails that warn of various dangers. The full sentence is "Variados relatos ajenos y propios me lo cuentan, me lo gritan, me lo recuerdan." "lo" refers to danger. I have some ideas for 'ajenos y propios' in this context, but I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate. I'm also having a bit of trouble making this sentence flow in English. Thanks!

...others experiences and my own... (see below)
I've seen it from others experiences and my own. They scream out at me and remind me.
As you can see, I'd change the wording slightly, but make it mean the same. Also, I'd break the sentence down. Spanish sentences often often have to broke down in English for syntax reasons. Hope it helps!
