I contemplated getting to this earlier in the week, but that didn't end up actually happening. So here we are. Also, I'm aware that it's probably mostly pointless to write these because I doubt anyone reads them, yet I still feel compelled enough to spout off my thoughts about (some of) the various secrets each week.
"my mother doesn't speak to me because i threatened to call the 'intervention' show on her hording of 46 cats in her house." [over a photo of like 15 cats inside a house somewhere]
This one is one of the more unique ones, I think. The whole situation with the hoarding of 46 cats is rather singular.
"I was having sex with my coworker when my husband texted happy valentines day" [over what appears to be a valentine card like the sort children exchange with classmates in elementary school; the "happy valentines day" text is part of the card although I assume it is also meant to be part of the secret]
As you know, the secrets that have to do with affairs are interesting to me. I wonder if the person who wrote this secret has any regrets about the affair they're partaking in? Or maybe they are shamelessly and gleefully enjoying the affair.
"I used to think everyone could see my thoughts in a bubble over my head." [in a thought bubble over a drawing of a person]
I wonder at what age a child might think this (or at least I assume that this occurred when the person was a child).
"I think our couple's therapist has a crush on us... Somehow it doesn't feel weird at all!"
I wonder how common this is. And how this person who wrote the secret can tell (or at least why they assume so) that the therapist has a crush on them.
"To the man who held my hand & made sure my son was okay when I totalled my car 9 years ago, I'm sorry I didn't ask your name, But I will never forget your kindness." [over a card that says thanks]
I like this secret because of this rather poignant moment of kindness it portrays.
"A few years ago my husband celebrated his 25th year of teaching. After touching the lives of hundreds of students not one RSVP'd to his surprise party. We had to cancel. He never knew it. He loves his job. I hate it."
I wonder why none of the students wanted to come to the surprise party. This is somewhat of an interesting scenario.
"If a patient is rude to me or mean to his family, I used the largest gauge needle I have to inject him. If a patient is nice, I use a baby needle."
This seems... unethical.
"I wonder if I will ever get over the loss of my friend? He didn't die. My husband told him to never contact me again."
It seems that secrets often leave me with additional questions because they don't include suffcient detail. In this case, the question is why the husband never wants the friend to contact the spouse again. Perhaps the husband is worried that the friend wants/is trying to have an affair with the spouse? Who knows.
"my downstairs neighbor and i have screaming matches to see who's the loudest during sex. i usually win."
I wonder what the other neighbors think. This seems sort of... inconsiderate, to say the least. And tacky. Although maybe they live in a duplex and therefore are each other's only immediate neighbors sharing a floor/ceiling.
"I want to be skinny... but I am far too lazy."
I can relate to this. Probably many people can relate to this. Wanting to lose weight but being too lazy to actually put in the effort to make it happen...
"I was off my meds when I broke up with you. I had to go back on them to live with what I'd done" [over a photo of hands holding pills in them]
Makes me wonder what kinds of meds they were/are, and also more of the context surrounding this breakup. I guess perhaps it was so bad that there was no chance of them getting back together??
