I have a secret and I've never told a soul.
The secret holds the power to change lives and possibly destroy relationships, at the very least it would change certain perceptions.
During my childhood I found something that still confuses me to this day. I waited years for the secret to come out. It never did. So much time has passed, I'm not even sure what I saw was real. But I can still see everything as if it happened yesterday. If I told someone now, I'm sure they'd think I was crazy. No one knows I know.
It's not my secret to tell.
I can go days, weeks and months without thinking about the secret, then an image, song, smell, or just one word will bring everything back to the surface.
The secret plays a huge role in certain beliefs I have today, and I'm guessing plays an even bigger role in the baggage I lug around with me every day.
I've carried the secret for at least 20 years. Today is the first time I've ever mentioned it. If you ask, I will not tell you.
It's not my secret to tell.

I'm so sorry for whatever you saw and how it's influenced you. I hope mentioning it has given you some level of relief.
Oh, that makes it so hard, when it's not yours to tell and yet it affects you.
Btw, I got you linked up.
Wow. To be a child and have to carry around a secret so powerful...that's such a huge weight for any child to bear. I hope this went some of the way in helping you unload that burden.
Very few of us could keep a heavy secret so close... I can feel your strength. Thank you for sharing, I'm over from PYHO.
Wow.. that's hard. Could you talk to the person the secret does belong to? Talking about it and bringing it in the open often releases the power it holds over us.
Holy shit! I REALLY wanna know the damn secret! ;)
Hope it gets easier Hutch. Sincerely.
I agree with Natalie. It's not your secret to tell, but it also doesn't have to be your burden to carry. You should think about telling someone, if only to ease your own pain.
Have you ever talked about it with a therapist? It can't be easy to carry that burden for so long.
wow. this sounds really serious. can you talk about it to the person who's secret it is??
I am so sorry. I can't even imagine having a secret for such a long time. You need to tell someone. I know it is not your secret to tell but you cannot hold it in and let it eat you up. Love ya Hutch!
Sigh...it sounds like whatever it is weighs on you quite a bit. I'm sorry. I hope you find a way to get peace here. Whatever it is.
That's quite a burden you have . . . but, you're right, if it's not your secret to tell, you can't tell it.
But, what are the chances that we both know a secret about Bigfoot, and can't say anything?
Why do we always think we know what the secret is? I must think I'm psychic or something.
That sounds like an enormous burden that you have carried for an enormously long time. I agree that telling a therapist could go a long way towards relief. No one should have this on their mind for so long.
I sincerely hope that whatever you saw did not lead to another person being harmed. I'm so sorry that you've had to carry this burden for so long. I'm with the others on therapy. Sometimes just talking with someone and telling one person will help you get some relief.
I can't imagine having to carry something so heavy around with me for most of my life. I agree with the others... maybe seeking the counsel of a therapist would help provide some relief for carrying this around all this time.
I'm sorry, girl :(
Oh my gosh! I hope whatever it is, that it isn't something that's made you have to go to therapy about! ek!
