It's been awhile since I've done one of these, but I looked at the current secrets and they seem rather interesting, so here are my comments!
"Sometimes, when I'm extremely bored (like I was at this wedding), I like to imagine that I've already reached the end of my life and there I begged God for just a few more hours. He agreed. And sent me here. It makes a big difference." [over a photo from a wedding] This is an interesting/unusual idea and mildly quaint too...
"I don't care how smart, educated or successful you are: if you're an adult obsessed with Disney I think you're creepy." I can more or less agree with this, although I'm not sure I'd personally use the word creepy to describe it... juvenile is a more accurate term, to me.
"I have devoted my life helping others... But no matter how many lives I save, I cannot forget the faces of those I couldn't. Some memories never fade..." [with a ballpoint pen sketch of a firefighter's helmet marked "Killeen FD Firefighter 292" and the word "PTSD"] Grim.
"I don't like telling people to call the suicide hotline because when I needed them they were busy." Also grim.
"I used to put people in jail for drugs, and then go in the bathroom to do my drugs." What a twist!
"I have never told my husband, I had a child before we got togeter" [sic] Ooh, secrets... also coincidentally, related to some recent reading I did.
"Actually I wasn't on a business trip. I was in the psych ward." Also twisty.
"This is what I fantasize about. I'm a guy." [over a photo of a romantic wedding scene with bride and groom kissing in front of a church] That's cute and even somewhat sweet.
"Alcohol has now officially taken over my life." Also grim... I hope I don't become an alcoholic or a drug addict. I kind of wonder how one becomes an alcoholic... many people are able to drink without it becoming a problem, but for those who it is a problem for, why is that so? How does it happen?
"I don't think people truly appreciate what troops do for us until someone in their life becomes a part of it all." I suppose I can understand this. However, I happened to read something recently about the military committing atrocities in the Middle East, so that's one of the things they do (or at least, have done), under the guise of protecting freedom... I think we should abolish the military.
"At our nation's capitol [sic], in our national history museum all of the souvenirs are made in a different country!" This is an interesting observation. I'm not really sure if it counts as a secret, but still, interesting observation. I also wonder if it's completely factual. Perhaps the statement is an exaggeration and there are some souvenirs for sale that are made in the US... next time I'm there, I'll try to remember and check. Obligatory mention that I don't appreciate security theater but I'll have to remember to leave my scissors at home if I decide to go to the national history museum...
"I'm starting to think these nut-jobs might actually be onto something" [over a brochure {?} that says "Attend Scientology Sunday Service"] That's something else! I do wonder how one comes to believe that the Scientologists might actually be onto something....
"I wish I were fat so I could be a Torrid model. I think they're gorgeous." [over a photo of what presumably is a Torrid model] Well, this is different...
