Day One

117

Today I've decided to construct a tidy little dark corner for my secrets.  This is it.  A good place to put them, I think.  Better than letting them float around in the back of my head, tugging at the edges of my sanity.

I suppose I should divulge a little bit about myself, before anything:  I am young, in my twenties, about to get married.  I have a good job, a nice house, a great family.  Really, for the most part, I am happy.  My secrets, perhaps, are surprising, given the circumstances.  Or perhaps, they are utterly uninteresting.  Everybody has a part of themselves they keep hidden from the rest of the world, especially from the people they are closest to.  A dark part, perhaps, a place of torture.

This is that part of myself.
