PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

The anonymous posting system is perfect for an idea similar to this, so let's have a go at it! The idea is simple: post a secret about yourself! Now keep in mind, "my house has 2 bathrooms" is not a secret. "I used to wash myself using toilet water" is.

Now, to protect your own anonymity, please don't post about serious illegal activity, like "I am a heroin dealer." Remember that EC admin/mods can view the source of the post if need be, so if it's something very illegal or dangerous, they might be compelled to. Something like, "I smoke pot" or "I routinely steal groceries" should be okay.

Also, let's keep this PG rated, okay? Keep graphic details down to a minimum, and try to keep the subject matter clean. If your secret isn't clean, as I'm sure many won't be, describe it like you're reading it from a dictionary. "I had sex with 12 people at once" is a good way to describe an otherwise dirty topic.

And as always, respect EC's rules, and do keep in mind the rules of anonymous posting!

When in doubt, check Post Secret out! That's what this is based on, so if you're not clear on anything or need ideas, that's where to go!

And finally, please don't just make secrets up. We're not trying to show off, here. We have a medium to share our darkest, most personal, most embarrassing secrets, so inventing things like "I was abducted by aliens, escaped from their captivity, took over their ship and blew up their homeworld with its LASER GUNS" is NOT acceptable. Please stay true to yourself. These are your secrets, and so they're interesting enough on their own.

And DO NOT FORGET to click on the box that says "make post anonymously!!!!!!" The LAST thing you want is for your embarrassing secret to be tied to your username!!

I guess I'll start.

I think of myself as gay, but I'm more attracted to women than I am to men.

Sometimes I wonder if I am gay because the one person I've always loved has been of the opposite gender.

My parents think I've never touched alcohol...

My parents think I'm the ideal son, but what they don't know is that I want to try Salvia.

I'm really just posting here to try out the anonymous thing, but as for person above me, better to try Salvia than other harder/addictive drugs, especially since it's legal most everywhere. My parents think the same as your's, and although I don't really wanna do drugs, I do other things that might make them think a little less of me.

I sometimes cut myself when I get overly stressed sometimes.

i think the only reason i'm gay and not bi is because i have this bad stigma and vision of men to the point where they scare and worry be so much i'd never want to get in a romantic relationship with one.

my parents are the most conservative, right wing people...when i come out, and it hits them that the family name will die with me since i'm their only son...it might just kill them.

my parents expect me to be their "normal" child b/c my siblings all have "issues". they've even said i'm the only one without problems. they make it really hard to talk to them.

everyone would hate me if they knew who i really was or what i think about. i cannot keep myself from thinking horrible awful things and i think very serial killer thoughts so often.

Sometimes i cry myself to sleep.

i sometimes daydream about running away. just getting away from it all. go to the city. hide. i would finally be free.

i do too. but long as you don't do them they are just thoughts. you are a good person long as you are able to surpress them. and since you don't do them then thats not who you are. you need to find a away to let go of your anger.

Sometimes I get scared I'm the reason people keep leaving.... I've gone through five family member deaths in the past few years, my mom left, my stepmother left....
