We all have thoughts, memories, or impulses that we bury deep—things we’d never say out loud, even to our closest friends. This isn’t about crime confessions or obvious trauma, but those disturbing truths about ourselves that quietly haunt us. What’s the part of you that you hide from the world because you’re afraid of what it might reveal?
Let’s be honest—anonymity is a powerful thing.
Anonymity on the Internet is about as strong as the lock on your door. A sufficiently motivated individual will be straight through it with barely a thought.
“Don’t worry, the glass door has a lock on it.” “What is stopping anyone from breaking the class nullifying the lock?”
What follows is the purest form of cognitive dissonance I have witnessed in life. Believing a lock will keep the bad guys out while knowing the fragility of glass seems to miss most people until you tell them.
Thank you for the hearty laugh!
