Secret #31

I hate the person I’ve become.

Secret #30

When I was 17, my friend lost control of her car and nearly flew us off a bridge onto the highway underneath... 3 feet from the rail she was able to gain control of the car.  Instead of being scared and screaming, I was laughing...

Secret #29

I only like to believe in the good horoscopes.

Secret #28

I used to wish I was like those dumb girls who believe everything a guy tells her because those girls always seemed to be happy... then I realized I’m happy that I’m smart & strong enough to be able to call guys out on their bullshit and not get taken advantage of.

Secret #27

After hearing what went on (and still going on) in the war, I have tried to convince myself that ignorance is bliss... it’s not working.

Secret #26

When I was a kid I always thought the pictures in my books would ‘come to life’ when I wasn’t reading that page. I use to try to be sneaky so I can catch them in the act and I’d pay close attention to see if the picture looked different from before.

Secret #25

I still get jealous.

Secret #24

When I was younger I would listen to my brothers and their friends talk about all the stupid & annoying things girls said or did that frustrated them... I made a mental note to myself to NEVER be like that when I started dating... I didn’t want to be “that” girl.

Secret #23

My purpose in life: to help you find happiness AFTER you break up with me.  I don’t think I was ever the person someone could be happy with... I think I was the stepping stone for them to find their happiness.

I was always the rule, never the exception.

Secret #22

I think my life took a monumental turn when I got this car... and it wasn’t for the better.

Secret #21

I changed my mind from being a Kindergarten teacher to a psychiatrist because I was scared I was going to be frustrated being around everyone else’s kids, that I wouldn’t want any of my own.

Secret #20

I used to have a ton of these dolls as a kid... and I made sure they were someplace I couldn’t see when I would go to bed because they freaked me out.

Secret #19

I only get buyer's remorse when I purchase something for myself.  I feel like when I spend money on myself, I'm the most selfish person ever.

Secret #18

Midgets scare me.

Secret #17

I would like to be naturally social & talkative as my cousin Bridget... but the only thing that brings that out in me...

liquor.

Secret #16

I always had a recurring dream as  a child that I was being chased at a beach, on a deserted island with tons of coconut trees by a T-Rex... don't ask.

And no, he wasn't cute or funny like this character.

Secret #15

I always wanted to grow up to be a ballet dancer/singer/pianist/violinist; I would have loved to continue doing any performing art I used to do as a child...

but I let my horrible stage fright cripple me & stop me from doing what I loved due to something I wasn't sure how to control.

Secret #14

All I ever think about is love...

Secret #13

I am much more sensitive & emotional than I allow people to believe. I'm not sure if I did a  good job of hiding it.

Secret #12

I pretended to be ditzy because no one really cared or liked me when I was myself.  Now... I don’t even remember the person I was.

Secret #11

I would love to be a housewife/stay at home mom...

but I refuse to be dependent on a man.

Secret #10

When I was a teenager I was scared I'd get pregnant and have a baby...

Now I'm scared it'll never happen.

Secret #9

Whenever I go to someone's house and use their bathroom, I always check behind the shower curtain to make sure no one is there.

Secret #8

I always check if anyone is behind my seat before I get in my vehicle...

which doesn't make much sense since I drive a short cab truck.

Secret #7

I HATE ROACHES!!!

Even this picture freaks me out... *shiver*

May not be a huge secret, but I will scream like a banshee if it gets too close.  Don't use this information for evil please. 

Secret #6

As a child, I was extremely obsessive compulsive.  I still have OCD in a much lesser extent, but it is only noticeable to those who pay close attention.

Secret #5

Last year, I was in the works of moving out of state without telling anyone... even my family. I was just planning to disappear from everyone without a word...

Secret #4

I wish I could be a writer.

Secret #3

Sometimes when I listen to music, I choreograph some pretty awesome dances in my mind...

Secret #2

Whenever I'm quiet with a smile on my face or I'm laughing to myself... I'm usually daydreaming. I love to daydream... especially at night when I lay down & get comfortable; I get to be somewhere else and even with someone I wish I could see more often.

Sometimes I feel my daydreams are much better than my reality...

Secret #1

Sometimes I have conversations with myself... I just want to say things out loud without anyone responding. It clears my head... I think I'm going crazy.

3. My sarcasm takes a mind of its own at times. Just bear in mind, the more I am sarcastic with you (in a joking matter) the more comfortable I feel.

12. I am not fake.

13. I won't lie to you to spare your feelings. If you want a sugar-coated answer, I am probably not the person you want to come to.
