...bravery?

tonight, Frank Warren of "PostSecret" spoke at my school.

Tonight, I shared my secret in front of hundreds of strangers. In front of dozens of friends.

I received hugs from friends and from people I don't know. Later, I received texts telling me of my bravery and facebook messages thanking me for sharing.

I told a roomful of strangers that had it not been for my tenth grade gym teacher's door being open, I wouldn't have sought help and I would have committed suicide. I never thanked her as much as I should.

Tomorrow, I'm going to call her.


edit to add: it's February 26th on my end, here. Happy three years since the first splendid blogspot post.
