waltappel 1 #7 December 30, 2005 QuoteHas anyone else seen this site? http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ It intregues me, and I wonder how I would feel if I posted my secret... The things I am willing to confess to, I confess here at the bonfire. Here is one thing I wrote and it has links to other postings I have made. If you haven't read them, then I will probably regret posting this link to you, but oh well, you already know me so most will probably not be any huge surprise.

Lindercles 0 #8 December 30, 2005 That sight is actually really interesting. After reading some of the other confessions, I think i would, i'm just not sure what I would say. The great part is, it can be anything. My favorite from the sight is "Whenever I'm in an uncomfortable situation I find geometric shapes and angles in the things around me to comfort me" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susanjumps 0 #10 December 30, 2005 Yes, I have a similar feeling about the site. I never would have thought I would want to declare something so personal, but I have been thinking about it for months, ever since I discovered the site. Actually when I first saw it, I didn't think I had any secrets. Silly me. Everyone has something they don't want others to know... I am beginning to think I am becoming comfortable enough with the sentiment, though, to just let it be and not condemn myself for it. I don't know...Erleichda!

RhondaLea 4 #12 December 30, 2005 Quoteanonymous confession is rather cathartic, isn't it. But isn't it sad that these people have no person in their lives to tell their secrets to? Some of those things...if a friend told me some of those things...I would want to hold them and comfort them. I don't see much comfort to be had in anonymous sharing, if you want to know the truth. Catharsis, I suppose, but not comfort. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catharsis, I suppose, but not comfort. rl Have you ever noticed that it can oftentimes be easier to talk with someone you don't know very well?Maybe it is the perceived guarentee of lack of judgement. I believe that same sort of annonymity is what prompts people to blog or even post very personal things online, in here for example. This site seems to take it one step further with true annonymity.

I post personal things here as a way of making a point or making a connection. I am fully aware that people I know live and in-person (people I may run into at the grocery store) will read what I write. It doesn't feel anonymous to me. I would rather be judged by my friends than by strangers. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.
