You know...there's a mother in the book (later a movie) "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham who desperately wants to run away. She has a very nice, supportive husband and lovely boy, and is pregnant with a second child, but she often looks at her son and is terrified he'll see right through her; that he knows she doesn't feel like a real mom, and that sometimes she isn't even sure if she loves him. I always wondered that myself...do parents ever feel the way babysitters do? That they don't feel that instant connection with the kid - that it feels more like a job that goes on forever, with no parent returning at the end of the night to hand you $10 so you can leave? Anyway, she does run away, in the novel, for her own sanity - after contemplating suicide. I suggest giving it a read (it's easier to understand the characters than in the movie) if you think you might relate.
My secret - although I wouldn't say I'm dying to tell it - is that I'm actually (well, compared to what everyone else thinks) an irresponsible person. To everyone else I come off as industrious, meticulous, and a go-getter. But I'm actually just a big dreamer who never seems to make things happen. However, this illusion of being hard-working has gotten me to places that only a hard-working person could normally go...although I haven't earned it. I want, more than anything, to be that person who really slaves away...and I'm working on it. Gradually.
This is why it's dangerous to be a smart little kid. You learn from a young age how to get away with anything...

I'm 23 live with my parents, jobless, and carless. I'm single and can't get over my ex and it's been almost ten months now. I'm depressed and don't have friends just family members I talk to, except for this guy that was my best friend when I was five-years-old, came back into my life, and I don't answer the phone when he calls, I don't know why I don't like him. I usually try to avoid people too for reasons I don't know why even though I need them in my life. I'm also a christian who got saved a couple of months ago. These are my secrets now don't tell anyone. I say good day.

I don't have any secrets. I tell my partner everything...even if I'm feeling trapped and want to get away. I still tell her. That's why we've been able to make it last as long as we have, and why we will continue to last.
She tells me when her parents try to manipulate her away from me, which actually happens everytime she goes to visit them....and I tell her how that makes me feel.
We get it out there where it can be delt with.
No 400lbs gorillas in our livingroom!!
Plus, I really suck at keeping secrets...I blab all the time!! I'm an honest person, sometimes too honest!
Ok...ok...ok...when I was five I stole a candy bar from my local grocery store. When my Mother caught me, I lied and said I paid for it, but I hadn't.
Does that count?

well, it's a pretty big secret and nobody knows but my close friends, but I attempted suicide at school. Anyways, I've been wanting to just yell it in someones face and see if they finally stop harassing me.
It's been a while since the last time I attempted suicide (Before this incident) so my parents think I'm 'cured' or something, like I'm no longer depressed.

I am alive today because if I had been at work on 9/11 at Tower #2 on the 87th floor instead of with my 2 girlfriends in a motel in N.J., I would not be writing this today.
