THE THESE ARE MY CONFESSIONS MEME

Does your character have a deep dark secret that they don't want out? Well, too bad. Something has just forced your characters to reveal their inner most secrets, true identities and even elements of their own past that they've tried to forget. What shouldn't be known is suddenly known. What shouldn't be said is suddenly exclaimed.

Of course, not every secret has to be deep and dark.  Some may get into TMI territory, or just be plain embarrassing.  Up to you how serious your confessions are.

No one can lie in a thread, you lack the capacity to. All confessions are truthful and sincere. It's uncontrollable what you say to a person.

So why waste the energy?

[aquaticrush]

It's hard to know what else to do. And it feels like everything my life maybe could have been is gone, even though I know it couldn't have turned out well anyway and even though I can find happy things now.

[cherryblooded]

It's much better to focus on the happy things you can find now than to worry about what could have been.

[aquaticrush]

You're right. It's more fair to other people, too.

[cherryblooded]

Exactly. I'm sure you can do it if you make the effort.

[aquaticrush]

I haven't even told -- well, everybody probably knows, people say things, but I don't want the person I'm with right now to hate me because I nearly destroyed the universe for someone I couldn't be with. Especially someone I still love and probably always will, even if I've tried to get over the whole thing.

[cherryblooded]

It's still important to be honest with the people you love, even about painful things. I don't always follow that advice myself... but it's good advice.

[aquaticrush]

How can I expect other people to still like me if I don't?

[cherryblooded]

Sometimes we magnify our own flaws.

[aquaticrush]

Um... You can't lie either now, right? What do you dislike about me?

[cherryblooded]

That you apologize for things you shouldn't apologize for.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry-- ah! No! I mean...

[cherryblooded]

I know, it's habit, right? So I shouldn't get too upset over it.

[aquaticrush]

I can't not apologize when I do something.

[cherryblooded]

I can understand that.

[aquaticrush]

It's scary.

[cherryblooded]

If you work hard at it, you'll be able to change, but it will take time.

[aquaticrush]

And become a better person?

[cherryblooded]

You're already a good person. I mean a happier person.

[aquaticrush]

Happiness would be nice.

[cherryblooded]

That's what I hope for.

[aquaticrush]

You're so nice to me, really.

[cherryblooded]

You deserve it, and I'll tell you so every single time.

[aquaticrush]

Thank you, Dad.

A-ah! I mean! I didn't mean to, it just came out!

[cherryblooded]

[His smile couldn't get any bigger.] You can call me Dad if you want.
