There’s something I’ve been hiding for years, a secret that would change everything if it ever got out.
Some secrets are too dangerous to share, but keeping them? That’s its own kind of hell. Every day, I live in fear that someone will put the pieces together, that one wrong word will unravel everything.
I know I should come clean. I know the weight of this secret is eating me alive. But some truths destroy lives. And I don’t know if I’m ready to destroy mine.
i am taking a guess that both comments about secrets are the sexual sort . the one that said he was a boy during the 70.s must have been one the eat all you can buffet that the pedos had. but its good that he has found the truth and is free from taught shame and guilt. and the first comment she should share it here and let people that have dealt with the same or worse give her advice and how backward is it that the secret becomes the most important thing and everyone does anything to keep the secret. if the secret has been safe for years then its probably never going to come out, and in truth you should not have your life being ruined about something . worry about it if it comes out, but share your secret with us and listen the the advice and the one that was a boy in the seventies has nothing to fear if my guess is correct the ones that gave him a secret will be dead by now and if there were other boys as well as it was a very gay time in secret but everyone that got to be told to keep a secret will also want the secret to stay. dont worry
i understand as i have a secret that i have kept since i was a boy in the seventies only in the last few years with help i understand everything and have no guilt or shame anymore but if it came out i would be destroyed.
