I'm a relative newcomer to post secret, a couple of months ago maybe. I don't obsessively read it every week, but I sometimes remember its there and I go to it. But Iv seen a few ones like this. I had one saved in my bookmarks ages ago, that I just found on google images, I saved it cause I wanted to write about it one day, but then when I went back for it, it had been taken down, and Iv never found it since, (serves me right for not saving it to my computer!) Anywayy, it was something like "I'm 70 years old, happily married with 3 beautiful children. But if the girl I dated in high school turned up at my door, I would leave with her and never turn back"
It just proper broke my heart. I see these post secret-esq things, like that one about the small town and 2 wives, and I wonder if these people only go back to their "only love" when the relationships they are in fail. Which is maybe understandable, I dunno. You break up and then your mind wanders to that one that you never really could shake off. I wonder if they just come to this conclusion once they've exhausted their old boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands. I wonder if really that other person was in their minds all along, or if it just resurfaces when things start to look bad, and they wonder what could have been.
I'm not usually cynical when it comes to love, so I don't know why I'm pondering these things, I guess its my Bianca-libran side coming out, always weighing up the two sides.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is, it just seems sad and maybe unnecessary that all these loves are getting lost. I don't know how its supposed to work, I've never been in love, and I've got this really idealistic, and no doubt very naive idea of it all. Sometimes I worry that I'm gonna die young, get hit by a bus, or something, and die before I ever know what love is like. I'm a soppy motherfucker though, I really don't think that will happen, I'm completely certain that it will be just everything I expected, eventually, and I'm gonna be one of those lucky bastards who's love life is just perfect.
Right, back to the post secret, obviously I know things probably aren't that simple, the person they think was meant to be theirs all along might be married now, there's probably a hundred other things going on to stop them ever being together. Blah blah blah. But what I'm getting at is, its sad that people are in that position, that they've somehow let it get that far along the line. Why didn't they go for it at the time? Take a goddamn chance. I don't know if it really is never too late.
But anyway, In conclusion, if you love somebody, truly really just love them, just fucking go for it, maybe you can't right now, but don't leave it too late, you don't wanna be the person writing post secrets about how sad you are that you picked the wrong people, when you know who the right one was all along. You should be the one writing about how you cant believe how fucking lucky you are.
Apologies if this made anyone vom.
I now have cold knees, and fingers, and the Simpson's is almost on. Waterbottle and soup time, yeahhh
