Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).
This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".
If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).
I saw something today.
I was in the car with my mother, around mid day on the way home from getting some things from the store.
I turned away from the window, back to looking out the windshield and saw a car, tan small, a four seater maybe, coming directly at us as we were going to turn. I flinch and closed me eyes.
And then when I opened them we had turned. The car coming at us hadn't been there. I don't know what happened, but I'm scared.
That's so scary, I'm sorry. I had a similar (but definitely real) experience where my mom zoned out and got into the lane of oncoming traffic thinking it was the turn lane. There were a lot of cars coming at us....*shivers* It was freaky.
So, this isn't really a confession, more of a rant, and it's definitely not secret:
I'm tired of being the dispensable one. In any group I've ever been a part of, I'm always that person. The bottom of the food chain, everyone likes me and enjoys my company just fine, but I'm the first one to be insulted, the one that nobody's afraid to piss off because they know they'll be forgiven. The one that can be left out of plans, or forced into plans without my consent, whatever strikes their fancy. The one who's not really considered that important or respected unlike everyone else. When my friends say that they like to hang out with me, love me, whatever, I believe them -- I don't doubt it too much, I love them too. It just irritates me.
Sorry. I just needed to rant, at nobody in particular. >.>
