TellThemDay Stories... This is where we tell the stories about our tells, good and bad...

Hi,

I sent Postsecret a card months ago with a photo of my friend in Afghanistan and the words 'I'm so afraid he won't come back and he'll never know I loved him'. It never appeared on the site. After a while I started to think that maybe it was never put on the site because it just wasn't that big a deal, after all - I could change the situation. So I told him just how much I cared. This isn't one of those happily ever after stories where he told me he loved me too but our friendship is stronger than ever and from the day that I told him, I stopped having nightmares of his funeral. He came home safely today.

Wow.
I did it.
I did it.
and it.. went GREAT.
When I told him, he kissed me. He didn't say it back, but I think he meant it.
I hope I'm right, and I hope it goes as well for you guys as it did for me!
<3 style="font-weight: bold;">I don't see lack of initiative, you found out new information and changed your mind. Sometimes getting ready IS the initiative. And see the post below-

hayleyalexi- I'm a man, so I know. Here are 2 great truths about us.We are like subway trains, another one will be along. And, like sour milk, we do NOT get better on the second try.

Maybe if you didn't tell him, you shouldn't have.

Caitlin said... It's alright Haleyalexi. What Tellthemday and anonymous said was true, you probably made the right choice. You'll find someone you really SHOULD tell someday, and when you do, you'll be glad. Don't worry, it'll be alright. =)

thanks anonymous.

tellthemday said... I cheated and went a day early, because it was a work tell and tellthemday is a saturday. I have a co worker, very nice, who uses orange scented hand wipes. This sounds petty, but something similar happened before, the old one used that foul purell. So I told, and she said she'd change to lemon! As I said this sounds petty, but I have a very hard time asking for what I want directly. I abandon rather than ask in relationships, so this is more of a step than it seems. Next time I'll ask for something I want, rather than ask for something to stop. And I told the sobered up co worker, who said he thought no one had noticed either his drinking or his sobriety.





All right, since there hasn't yet been a TellThemDay, these are stories and comments people sent in about taking the risk of telling a secret they had held on to.

Anonymous said... O wow. my tellthemday plan just got run over by reality. i have this huge torch for her, and today she asked me about my feelings, and i just let go and did it! i was all crying in my pizza! i don't know what will happen, but she didn't laugh.

ur right about making a plan. if i hadn't been planning to tell i might not have taken the chance and just shut up.

Anonymous said... After 9 months I finally forced myself to tell my roommate that her pot smoking was wrecking her life. I reckoned that even if she kept on with it, it wasn't because I had stood by and let her. She hated me and yelled at me and ran away from me and finally heard me. She got help and 6 mos. later she and the apartment are still clean. I'm glad I did it.

Isaac said... It took me a year to tell my colleague that his gum chewing was driving me crazy. He said "Sorry, I didn't know" and stopped. Tell them!

Anonymous said... I finally told my crush about my feelings. He didn't share them, and I was broken hearted. But not forever, I'm doing other things with my time then wasting it secretly mooning over someone else.
