I was obsessed with Duran Duran when I was a kid. I was the only 10yr old I knew that had a “Is There Something I Should Know” t-shirt in my whole town. I got it at Dog’s Ear at the mall. I got hassled about it all the time. Every time I wore it.
In the summer between grade 7 and 8, I made a Duran Duran scarf… My mom sewed the little patches I had on it and I drew on it and made it the best scarf I’d ever seen. About a week into grade 8, on a rainy miserable day, I finally wore it to school. I thought that it took a lot of guts.
2 things happened:
The ink ran from my Sharpie work.
People still made fun of me because of the ink stains on my t-shirt and neck.
I listened to them all the way home from school on my Walkman.
I slept with my wife’s Doula. It wasn’t a good idea, but I did it anyway.
So Let It Out!
Everyone has a little secret... a story... something that nags them right when they wake up in the morning and still pesters them as they try and fall asleep at night. It could've been something that happened in grade two, or something that you said to a coworker last week. Sometimes the most mundane thoughts can eat away over time, becoming greater in your head than they actually are in real life...
Sometimes it's easier to write these things down... anonymously, to throw it out there into the void of the world... hoping that it will bounce and bounce until it finds a home that it'll be happier for ever... A place that it can rest and left hidden, or maybe left to be discovered...
Sounds flaky I know... but from what I've heard... people are always looking for an out for their stories.
So here's the deal:
If you feel like throwing something out there, whether it's obvious, hidden, imagined or anything else, throw it in the comment field, and if it matches the criteria, I will put it up on the site... (and I won't tell anyone!)
And don't worry... I'll be throwing in little nuggets all the time as well!!
I waited all night for her to call or text. She never did.
I’m so tired.
Soaking wet I ran through the door to get out of the storm. I just wanted somewhere to shelter for a while. I could never have imagined in a million years the things that would happen to me later that night….!
The Secret Story Club wants your secrets, stories and anything else that you feel like getting off of your chest.
Send them in in the comments field, and I will be sure to post them.
The Secret-ier… the better!
I once ran all over Berlin looking for a Lenny Kravitz concert that was supposed to be in a park. We ran for hours and never found the damn thing.
In hindsight, I’m glad we missed it!
I got punched in the face while rollerskating to Xanadu because I couldn’t crack the whip properly
