Postsecret review 3

I think I missed last week's; whoops. Anyways, here is this week's. 

"I hope I don't have to lie to my family about my reasons for going back to Iraq." See, now this one is interesting. It leaves a bit to the imagination and is about a somewhat unique subject matter. The postcard that this secret is on has a stamp that reads "Marine Corps Post Office May 30" so that's interesting.. I do wonder about this (presumably a guy) person's reasons for going back to Iraq. My first thought was that perhaps they have a death wish and hope that by going back to Iraq, they'll get killed in the war. Just typing that out, I now realize how morbid that sounds. But hey, maybe that's the reason. Who knows! Since they are worried that they might have to lie to their family about it. Or, perhaps they seek redemption somehow and they think that by going back to Iraq, they'll be able to get it. That's a movie-worthy idea right there. So yeah, this one was an interesting secret. 

"When I see cyclists in the middle of the road on my way to CHURCH... I'm tempted to KNOCK them down! <GET OUT THE WAY>" Well, that's not a very spiritual thing to think about, desiring to run into cyclists on the road... Doesn't the Bible say "Thou shalt not kill"?? I wonder if this person realized the irony in their secret. 

"One of the reasons I've never had kids is I'm afraid I might be like my mom and leave them." The reason I don't want to have kids is because I think they're annoying and a hassle. Cats are much more my speed since they mostly can entertain/take care of themselves, you just have to feed them and stuff. 

"My student wrote me a letter of thanks because I helped him believe in himself. I felt like a failure because his letter had grammar and punctuation mistakes." I like this one too. It's unique and I can understand that this teacher would feel disappointed about the grammar and punctuation mistakes. But I guess it's a good thing that the student now believes in himself? Maybe he'll learn proper grammar and punctuation somewhere along the way later in life. 

"I think most adults are kind of boring... but they don't have to be." I don't really get what this is possibly implying. To me, I think what it could imply is the way that adults can cease to be boring is by having (inappropriate) relationships with teenagers. Probably because of the premises of some things that I either am watching or plan to watch being on my mind. Personally, I don't think I'd say that most adults are kind of boring. You can't truly know if someone is boring or not without getting to know them a little bit. Just by looking at someone, you can't know if they're boring or not. Which for some reason is now making me think about online dating. I guess some of the average looking/below average looking people could potentially be interesting, but I'm looking for someone to date (and who therefore should be good looking), not just someone who's interesting but not good looking.. 

That's it for my review of this week's secrets. Sorry I missed last week's.
