Mostly True Confessions...
Even though I feel very strongly about respecting the privacy of others and wished terrible things on the person who did it to me, I once had a momentary lapse of reason and read a friend's personal journal. It was right there in front of me and the temptation was too great. I opened it at random, read a single page, and closed it. It was about me.

In case you're wondering: It's not you. That friendship ended a couple of years later for a variety of reasons and I never told him what I did or brought up what I read.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel better.

  1. Very brave of you to admit. So, does mostly true mean most of it is true but not all of it? Or is it as true as it possibly can be?

  3. Journals are strange that way - almost like the whole blog thing.

    There is something liberating knowing that people are reading your thoughts

  4. OHMYGOD. I did that once too, I read the journal of a guy I was in love with and found out he wanted to have sex with my good friend. Never did that again!
