~ Writing my own happy ending. A blog containing reflections, thoughts, and observations of a single, middle-aged woman ~
I don't think you are alone on that one. Cheers Dana!!
Most people have skeletons in their closets- mine's a whole graveyard...
well those must be some real doozy humdingers
I've never met a single person in my lifetime that would be willing to let go of ALL the skeletons in their closet.Like Matt said, you're not alone.
Matt-Man, I don't think I'm alone in many of my secrets!Buff, sometimes I would like to find a way to nuke that graveyard. I get tired of carrying it around with me.DB, they are, and I have no doubt judgment would be passed.
Leighann, but *I* do want to let go of all of the skeletons, I just don't want to feel the negative effects of doing it.
Write them all down, put them in an envelope, and mail them to me!:D
What's funny is that we all have a different view of things that are ashamed of. Some things I've done that I think are terribly embarrassing other people might say "Oh hell, that's nothing!"
I'm with jay, most folks have very similar skeletons, to degree.If you told them all then they wouldn't be secrets!
Isn't that the truth for us all!
I agree with everyone else, there are things from my past that I'll always be ashamed of...
Finding someone you can trust to share your past with can be as difficult as opening up in the first place.I have found only a handful of these type of people in my lifetime. They are rare, but very precocious.
Did my therapist call you!?she's trying so hard to get me to release some of the baggage that is so exhausting to carry, yet terrifying to open.I have no answers - only questions.I love how much you say in one sentence, this is the second post that just screamed out at me.
Leighann, based on your current level of worry, I'm afraid that my secrets might just send you over the top!Jay, I would agree, however I think mine might all fall into the universal "Oh my goodness" category!SS, sometimes it just takes a lot of energy to keep them - energy I can't help but feel would be better spent elsewhere.
R.E.H., sometimes I am surprised by the number of people who have the same feelings. Maybe I'm not so special?!Corky, but will there ever be anyone (besides yourself) who knows about them?Jeff, that fear of judgment (I've already judged myself harshly) is what keeps me from doing it.
Dianne, I don't know which is more difficult, carrying the secrets or letting them go! Sometimes they get to be comfortable, old friends.
Believe it or not, my level of worry is the lowest it's been in YEARS.
Leighann, then you most certainly do NOT want me to share - let's leave your worry level at a reasonable setting *wink*
We've all got those. Funny how what I think is shameful, someone else would tell without incident.
That’s OK—I think.
That isn't a Sunday revelation, there are things I don't even want the people that "know" me in the blog world to know .
