In all our lives we one one deepest darkest secret that we truly hold to ourselves. One that we can not even think about sharing it with anybody, even with the person we truly love. Could be many reasons to that... depending on what the secret really is. Last night as I was thinking about my past, I came across one of my deepest secrets. It got me thinking that it really is a burden on me. I had decided to take it to my grave, but now I have decided to let it out to the only person in the world who will never judge me - My mother! I am sure you all have your deepest darkest secret.. So R U going to take 2 Ur grave? Or will u share it with someone at some point in ur life? Isnt it a big burden to carry around?

In my point of view, I'd rather take that deep dark secret to my grave. Let it alone be my burden than others. I'm thinking that if I say my deep dark secret to a confidant, that person would carry the weight of that secret until she can't hold on it any longer, so there's a tendency for this person to tell it to another and the chain goes on. If keeping it will be my punishment, then so be it. Afterall, it won't hurt that person if that person does not know what you did. It's self preservation and concern with others all at same time.

True, that person wont hurt because they dont know. But its the inner self that is hurting because you know it was not right or it isnt right. Well I wont burden my mother, I think she will be proud of I told her. After all she is the one who brought me into this world, she is the one who knows me truly inside and out.. And I really dont think I want to die without having to let it out! I dont want God questioning me.. So hopefully my mother will understand.. I just hope that your burden is lessen somehow, and God helps u through it :) Cheers my friend.

Most of my secrets are known now, I had decided long ago that I should not carry baggage around wherever I went as it was just too much a burden and I have to come clean eventually. I had been a bit nastier when I was a kid and there were many things I had to work on about myself. These included things I really shouldn't have let myself think of. My past was something in itself a dark secret. Was a bit of a pervert and it is something I'm still mad at young me about, added I had anger issues and a mouth. Naturally a certain community didn't help when I was first starting in the internet scene as a kid. Anyways, these days I have acquired several personal rules and regulations and I've been happy with it since I set it up as I was becoming an adult. I've long since distanced myself of my past self.

Hello Shin. I am glad that you have left the past behind and your moving on, starting fresh and new. Well there are many good people in this world who can really help you and guide you to to a better life. I know many people tend to judge when you tell them about your darkest secrets, but there are many who shed so much light you way, that you feel so free from those secrets that you wish you could fly!! I am glad you found happiness, and you found your way through the darkness. May God always bless and guide you, surrounding you with people you really trust. Cheers. Thanks for your response.

well in this day and age, its very difficult to find true people who will support you in the darkest of times. I wish that nobody in this world has to go through it alone, its very painful. Cheers.

Well like you said we all have secrets. I have some too, but mine it's not that important and it really doesn't bother me, so, I don't see a reason to tell to anyone. If it was something that I did and that was bothering, I probably would tell to someone to relief the pressure, probably my sister or my mom.

I can't really keep secrets about myself - there will be someone that I will speak about it. But I would only choose which person am I gonna say such secret. I have secret things I have said to my mother that I didn't tell my friends. While, I also have secrets which I can't tell my friends but I told my mother. So for me there is no secret that only I, knows. Coz that is true it's such a burden and I cannot really keep it with myself alone. So there will be one person whom I would always talk to about such secret.

I also have very few friends Bamboee But we try to communicate as often as possible. If I cannot keep it anymore I tell it to my friend and my mother. Yes you have to tell it as the only way to free yourself from that heavy feeling is your mother.

Thank you enelym, you are right, I have to. I am just waiting for my mother to come back from her trip. The first thing I will do is talk to her about it. She some how knew it, when I spoke to her today on the phone she asked me out of the blue.. "is there something u want to tell me?", something bothering u dear?" Gosh I was shocked.. How does she always know... I told her no mother, (i dont want her to be worried).. Just asked her to come back safely.. Take care dear. God Bless u and ur friends & family.

Hello enelym! That is really nice enelym, that you have so many trusted people around you. well I dont have many friends. A very close one she is far away in Canada and we barely talk because of our busy lives. My husband I am not so open with him because he always tends to judge the book by its cover rather than knowing the whole thing around. Where as if I go around the world, there is only my mother who knows all about me, every bits and pieces and she has never once judged me. So I guess I will be telling her :)!! Its too hard to carry the burden on your shoulders, you cant stop thinking about it. So its better if its out and you feel so light..and can sleep peacefully. Cheers. Thanks alot for comment. I hope u'll always be surrounded by loved ones. God bless.

Hello Bamboee. Yes I have one and it always in ny mind, regret still haunted my head. I wish I did not have it or I wish I were not alive. I will never able to share to anyone. Just God and me that know it. I'll burn it in the deepest grave. My tears run down when I remember it, it tortures me. I don't know how but I think I'll live with it in my head and feel guilty, stupid. I wish I had a second chance to restart my life again. Oh God, forgive me.

zaahro, your response causes me concern and sadness. It saddens me to think anyone wishes they were not alive. We are all here at God's choosing,love. If you have asked God's forgiveness, and were sincere in doing so, then He has forgiven you and you should forgive yourself. Everyday that God allows us to remain alive is a second chance. At this point, all you can do is just live every day to do better than you did before. Keep the faith my friend. As they say, "let go and let God" Life is much easier when you do. bamboee; what i said goes for you too, dear. When we ask for God's forgiveness, we have to trust that it is done. As for me, of course there are things from my past that I am not very proud of all. I too, have made many mistakes. I have confessed my sins to God and therefore feel that there is no need for me to carry those burdens any longer. I now strive very hard to make sure that I do not do anything that I would be ashamed to tell my mother or my God about.

Hello dear, Please dear dont feel so bad about whatever the secret is about. We all are humans and we make really bad mistakes. I myself the secret I hold, I really feel so bad about it. Sometimes I really wish I was not born because of it. It really hurts me and makes me feel I am such a bad person. But its gone now and it needs to be out of my heart because its slowly killing me.. I hope that you find someone who you can really trust and let this secret out. So that you feel light and better. I pray that God forgives all of us and shows us some mercy, Amen. Take care dear, God Bless u always.

well, i agree each one of us surely has a very well-kept mystery in our lives... in my case its more of hatred and cursing emotions on someone who's supposedly close to me... i can't disclosed it to anyone else for i know no one could ever discern why?... everyone will listen, few will judge but no one will understand. TRUE, it's hurting me and it's hard to live life with so much bitterness, but i opted to keep it to myself... each night i just ask GOD to free me to all these burden, and one morning i'll just wake like a newly born child, full of innocence and hope.

Hello, thanks for your response. You are right, I also had many thoughts about who should I disclose it to. Because I really cant keep it any longer with me. the only person came to my mind is my mother, I know that if the world will be against me, she will stand by my side.. So at the right time, right place, I shall tell her what has been a burden on my heart and soul! i hope that u find someone u can truly trust and release ur burden.. And God is a good secret keeper too.. He has kept our secrets for so long, I guess he is our best friend in disguise. Cheers.

Darker secrets are aplenty for everyone of us. Those secrets would be kept in tight compartments, never to be revealed.

Hi, Bamboee, I don't think that I have "one deepest darkest secret". They are more than one but I wouldn't call any of them "dark". I'm not an angel but I don't have committed something so bad. I just have things that I don't want to share with others but I have the right to do it.

Hello Fannitia, I am glad that you dont have burden on your shoulders. Well you have the right to keep things to yourself, and that is a right that every human holds. But there are certain things which need to be shared because their burden is too heavy to be carried around. Thanks for ur response. God Bless u.

I will take my deepest darkest secret until my grave. I'm won't share it to someone, even if they're my relatives or close friends. A secret is a secret. This secret of mine is not a burdened to me but I'm not going to share it others.
