I was just doing my sunday ritual of reading the postcards on postsecret.com, looking to see if there was one similar to one of my secrets. there was. so, I decided that maybe we could share some secrets here... they can be deep or silly, big or small. whatever you feel comfortable with sharing.
here's mine;
I'm not sure if I believe that there is a God anymore, but every night when I go to bed I still say my prayers.

I know how you feel, I'm 15 and can't swim.  I know I never will, because a few year ago I had 2 years of lessons with little kids that were FOUR YEARS YOUNGER than me and were better. They all got to the next level and I never did. Lessons did nothing and I've given up.  |

Except I'm 17 but I'm still embarrassed and I don't think I'll ever learn I saw that on post secret, I felt so bad =( I learned how to ride my bike before I even turned 3, which was really quick, so it breaks my heart that there are people out there who can't. I'll teach all of you!  @ Booradley; there is also LJ secret, they post secrets every day, about 60 or 70 of them! On topic now, I have this folder on my computer which is filled with secrets I found on LJ secret or post secret. So out of that batch I just picked one, cause they all apply.  This sums up the last 6 months probably. |

My mum tried to teach me when I was 5 or 6, and she was supposed to hold the back of the bike but lost her grip and I fell over somehow and I was sooo mad at her and didn't want to try again hah. And then years went by and I just forgot about it. I've never really felt the need to ride a bike anyway, I prefer walking  |

But riding a bike is fuuun It's faster than walking But then again, in a year you can drive around in a car, who needs a bike then  |

They all got to the next level and I never did. Lessons did nothing and I've given up. I'm 14 and I still can't swim. I've had heaps of lessons but I just don't get it  and then I went 'swimming' (doggy paddling) in the sea one day, and it was really rough and I kept going under the water and couldn't get to the surface to breathe Someone saw me and came to get me though, thankfully! Now I can't go anywhere near the sea without remembering that day. |

Good thread! And just for the record, I'm nearly 20 and I can't ride a bike either. My dad tried to teach me but my balance is just diabolical really... I got fed up of decking my face in on the pavement  My secret for today... if John Lennon was alive and he fell asleep in my house, I'd take his round glasses and keep them for myself. Sssssssssh, don't tell him xxx |

I secretly dislike the majority of people in my life.
But I'm pretty sure this makes me a bad person?
Okay maybe dislike is the wrong word, perhaps it is more apt to say Im indifferent to most people in my life.
Like if I don't speak to them for a while or don't see them for ages it doesn't bother me.
I really am happy alone.

^ I'm like that about my family. I feel terrible about but I really don't care whether my sister is alive or not She's shallow/superficial, stupid, careless and selfish and I have nothing incommon with her. Same with my mum really, I love her I guess but I could do without her too. If I were to choose between my best friend and my family I'd choose my best friend 'cause she actually makes me happy. I can't see why you MUST love every single family member just 'cause they're family. If you don't like them you should be able to choose whether or not you want to be with them, as with any other person. (I hope this makes sense, i'm tired and confused and watching HP6 = not focused) |

Lowri I am so glad, I feel like a weirdo?
I do the same thing, and I have to fake caring and stuff.
It's so bad, I hate lying, I despise it, but sometimes it is for the best.
When my friends ask me to do things with them (night out, cinema whatever) it is just easier for me to lie and say I can't go than to go and have to fake happiness/make their time shit by me being miserable.
I feel awful saying it, I really do.

Well to be honest I don't really see the big hype about drinking. Like some of my friends have been drinking since they were what 14 some 17 now and getting pissed out of their minds. I have totally avoided going out when their goal was to get drunk. Like couldn't they just wait till they're 18 okay its 21 in the states and thats a long time. But I suppose it has been different for me growing up like my parents would ask me if I would want a drink and yeah I would take it and its gone on now that they ask so much that I couldn't really be bothered! Like when I turn 18 I will be gone partying all night! Thats just my thoughts on it!

I'm terrified of ending up alone, no man, no children and just cats! I tweeted that the other night. I am so scared of dying alone and no one knowing or caring or anything. pepscake, I think the thing with family is, you tend to love them but it doesn't mean you like them? I am increasingly finding it difficult to get on with my Mum. I get on with my Dad so well, but with my Mum there seems to be nothing there. She doesn't ever seem to have the time for me, and when I speak to her she never listens or pays attention, and I find it hard. My Dad is the other end of the spectrum, we do so much together, and have a good bond, and my Mum finds it hard to hold a conversation with me, I just don't understand how it can be so different? Also, I don't like my brother in law. I am coming across really well here aren't I? I don't hate everyone, honestly. |

Love this thread Crystal! Post Secret is my favorite  Rara I can totally relate to you. My Dad will always understand me although at times we will fight over things once in a while. However, my mom and I argue 10 times more. I've come to terms with the fact that we've both grown up in two different situations and that she will never fully understand me. We can never see eye to eye on anything. It's a bit upsetting I have to admit. My secret: I'm not scared of spiders, heights, snakes, germs, small spaces, scary movies, social situations, nothing like that. I can accept those things. But I am ridiculously scared of dying. I do not want to die. The thought that I will lose everything-- the mere possibility that I could forget all of the precious memories I've made, the people I've met, the things I've accomplished and the things I've learned scares the crap out of me. In the grand scheme of things I cannot accept that I am just another person in this universe and I won't mean anything to anyone in 100 years or so. It all just scares me. |

I am thoroughly abusing this thread tonight, but I have that fear too!
Dying freaks me out so much, because it is one of those things that everyone in the world has to go through, that is a fact of life, but nobody can tell you what it is like or what to expect (for obvious reasons).
And that scares me, with everything else in life you can kind of find out something about it, but death and how you will die is something you can never fully know, even with suicide.
I'd be so scared of leaving the world and no one giving a shit.

I'm terrified of ending up alone, no man, no children and just cats! I'm terrified of that too. I tell everybody that I want to live in a lighthouse with 16 cats and be this kind of old lady that's a local legend. You know, like everybody knows who she is and there are stories told about her and everybody thinks she's crazy and is slightly scared of her. While actually I just want to love and be loved. |

Wow girls, I feel so insensitive to your fears right now, because I have no fear whatsoever about dying. I guess because a lot of my family have died in quick succession, and almost every family member I've ever been told about was dead before I could know them, I just see death as another stage of life... it's not really an end, it's just your soul going off to a different realm, once your body is too old or weak to carry you anymore. That's the way I see it. I have no fear of being insignificant, like dying and no one knowing about it or caring. I guess I'm more of a carer, rather than someone who wants to be cared for. What I mean is, I guess I don't have a message for the world. I don't want to be heard, for my own benefit... I just want to make other people happy, and in turn be happy myself. Like the music career I want so badly... I don't want to be world-famous, or be rich and known by everyone everywhere I go... I just want to make music that makes other people happy, even if it's on a small scale. Seeing others happy would give me a feeling of purpose and happiness. Therefore I don't care if I die and no one notices, just as long as I've made them happy, I don't mind. Life is for living anyway; you can't spend every day thinking about how other people have died, or about how death might be creeping up on you. It's true; accidents happen, illnesses are caught... sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyone could die tomorrow, under any circumstance... that's why you have to life your life as though every day was your last! For anyone scared of death, remember that you have to treasure your life before you tackle death. Death will happen when it happens, and you'll understand it and accept it. Until then, you're still alive! Every day you wake up and your heart's still beating away... get out there and live your life! Then you can't possibly think you've wasted your time, and when death does come in the end, you'll have fulfilled yourself enough to accept that it's time to go. Sorry if I upset anyone there... just my thoughts xxx |
