Today I stumbled upon a blog that invites people to post their secrets using both words and illustrations. Few things shock me these days, but I was truly amazed at what some people are able to admit even under the name Anonymous. I try to be true to myself, but there are things I am afraid to vocalize. I fear that if I say them out loud, everything I am and stand for will crumble and I will be left to pick up the pieces without knowing where exactly to place them. I know that if I said some of the things I feel, I wouldn't have what I have today and would probably live to regret it. Words are powerful. I know it sounds silly, but I feel there are secrets that when vocalized, they become more real, and as a result, more damagaing to a person's state of mind.
I feel I shouldn't be reading some of these. Simply looking at the words of a person's most kept secrets makes me wonder about the height of my own. If I were to feel and express some of the things written on this site, I don't think I would be able to breathe. If it's hard to look at, it must be hard to hear...and even harder to actually be the one saying it.
