Feature: Dirty Little Secrets

I was checking my email today when a Google Ad caught my eye. It advertised a site called Anonymous Voices, “the place where you can say things you shouldn’t say in front of your mother or anything else on your mind”. Spill the beans all incognito-like for the world to see. I am an avid Dan Savage fan (got hooked in college). There’s no way I could pass up that kind of entertainment.

I read the first three most recent confessions and laughed so hard that there was no way I couldn’t share it. I Twittered the URL and kept reading much to my chagrin. I read on about much more risqué subject matter. I didn’t know there were that many grannies that [censored] their early teen grandsons in this world. But it was too late. I had already let the cat out of the bag by sending out the info to my Twitter network with my endorsement, calling it my new favourite site.

Apparently, several were highly traumatized. I’m so sorry. Guilt-ridden, I made my own Anonymous Voices confession.

Some of you may be familiar with similar sites like the Apology Blog, Passive Aggressive Notes and I would be remiss if I left out the rants and raves of The Best of Craig’s List.

We’re human. We all have this pent up emotional shit that we keep internal on the day-to-day. Maybe you can release some of that anger/frustration/turmoil by way of an anonymous post on one of these outlet sites.

[Edit] Aenea brought this additional site to my attention: PostSecret. She says, “There are really powerful sentiments in these. The fact that the phrases are so concise makes them more powerful, I think”.
