Posting My Secrets!

As I was browsing the latest entries on postsecret I found myself wishing I had something to send in...

Maybe this week my secret would be that I wish I could have a deep-dark secret that I am strong enough to admit to the world.

Maybe it would be that I've been kidding myself about how easy the start of this trip will be for me, and that when I *REALLY* start to think about it I freak out and just let myself think about 'good thoughts.'

Maybe it would be that I'm really lonely and this trip's helping me run away from that sad truth for a little while.

Maybe it's that I drink half as much as I feel like drinking, just because I have no one to go out and drink with.

Maybe it would be that I'm afraid of always being alone in life, having no one to share my secrets with.

Maybe I wouldn't admit my secrets because, despite my 'rebel without a cause' attitude, I still crave to be accepted, and be viewed as the fun, young, care-free person in the office who goes out and has a laugh and doesn't worry about the future....when I'm really scared.

Maybe I've had too many glasses of wine before writing this post...but maybe it's all being said for a reason?

Secrets: I am reminded of what Benjamin Franklin said, "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead." So true, there is rarely a "secret" that SOMEONE doesn't know. If you are like me you have found a way to make money by telling all your secrets publicly!!

I am glad that you don't have any secrets! Someone who holds secrets is someone that has not learned about intimacy with another. Secrets are titalating when they belong to someone else but when they are our own, it is just another mundane piece of trivia of our lives.

Remember that there is openess and then there is privacy. Being private is NOT keeping secrets.

C&J I love the song Banana Pancakes :)

...make you banana pancakes, pretend like it's the weekend....

I'm listening to it now :)

As for secrets...I think sometimes little bits of information can eat us up inside..then the second you say them outloud, whether it's to other people, or even possibly to no one (like on a blog) it suddenly seems to release you.

You're only as free as you let yourself feel I guess...
