Ages ago I fell head first in love with PostSecret — an initiative where people send in their secrets on a postcard to one main address. Every Sunday, the website would be updated with this weeks new secrets. I wanted to do something similar both on my Facebook group, and on my social channels.

We are all remarkably similar.

To the people who shared their secrets with me, I thank you. Perhaps it will bring you release, peace, or comfort knowing that someone read it, and someone sees you.

“You are my best friend. You make me laugh every day. You are a passionate and attentive lover. You are a good father to our kids, and I see in their eyes how they adore you. You are my partner and ally in life. But your chewing makes me murderous.”

“If you enjoy self pleasure, and not penetration, you should not be without The Womanizer.”

“Dear family, I'm pretty sure you know I'm atheist, even if neither of us says it out loud. Don't think of me as godless so much as god-free; I feel more at peace now than I ever did as a Christian. You did your best to indoctrinate me, so don't feel bad that it didn't work out. But DO NOT fucking pray for my soul.”

“I fell hard for my 1st cousin. He’s 5 years older than me. One year on a family camping trip we made love. We are many years older but still when we’ve had a few drinks and are alone together we talk about how wonderful it would be to be together. We have talked about running away but family would be mortified and we just couldn’t do that. I would still love to be with my cousin but it just can’t happen. I have felt dirty and like a bad person for years because of this. No one knows but him and I.”

“I hope we can go as far as saying anything here because I have a thing for Trani porn. I know it’s crazy but I’m sure I’m not the only one.”

“I have come to see that I really don’t like being alone. In moments of being alone I reach out to everyone - well mainly men I know. I need to figure out how to break this pattern.”

[It’s been ___ since my last confession] “2 hours. It was about my fear and want of a pregnancy with my partner.”

“I wish I had explored my sexuality more when I was younger. I love women.”

“Friends was a terrible show in the 90’s and aged even worse.”

“I pooped in the fridge.”

“I’ve been taking mid afternoon masterbation breaks. Work from home rocks.”

“The first time I had sex with my now husband was at an orgy.”

“The sun makes me SO grumpy and I wish it rained 4/7 days of the week.”

“I was sick a few months back and actually pooped myself while laughing about something.”

“I’m too hairy for my husband to have sex with right now apparently 🙄.”

“I spend more money on sex toys than men. They’re always on time and always a good time.”
