An exciting first day of secrets, wasn't it? I do have to wonder if some aspects are more hurtful than helpful, though. There seems to be a certain amount of trauma involved for many people, and I'm unsure of the amount of closure anyone can really achieve without openly stating what they think. After all, it all depends on the receiving party actually recognizing that the secret in question is relevant to them, doesn't it?

But it does allow people a certain catharsis to put something out in the open, even if it's not REALLY out in the open.

[philoxidizes]

I wonder how much value catharsis has.

[Totally anon, liek woah]

This may in fact have been my intention.

Closure, in regards to some issues, may never be achieved. Catharsis might be the only reachable goal.

[philoxidizes]

An interesting view. So you would say closure is unimportant?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

It's not like anyone said stuff about you.

[Totally anon]

[thricedeadwind.livejournal.com]

I would not claim that fallacy as truth. In many instances, closure may be achieved.

Yet it is not always possible, despite even a person's most strident efforts.

[philoxidizes]

Perhaps not. It's still a topic I find myself thinking about. And in any case, I still dislike seeing you involved in unfortunate secrets like the one today.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

For many? Very valuable. How much value can you put on peace of mind?

Well, good to know I'm not talking out of my ass, then!

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I guess you can't stop people from being gross.

[philoxidizes]

I suppose that's true. In that case, I would wonder the value of submitting a secret prolonging it. Wouldn't it be best to let bygones be bygones?

[philoxidizes]

I do wish there was a way. It's unfortunate for you to be subjected to that, especially more than once.

[STILL ANON, mun is retarded]

If the feelings prolong themselves, it may merely feel more satisfying to air them in any venue. Especially an anonymous one.

[philoxidizes]

I suppose that's true. Still, putting your feelings on display for people to poke and prod at is something I would find very uncomfortable.

[philoxidizes]

I suppose that's a valid point. This must be something that differs from person to person, I suppose.

I don't really care, the Doctor promised to protect me.

[philoxidizes]

It's good you have the Doctor to rely on.

A true man fears no such thing. His emotions are the proof of his attentions, a shield that guards him against the ills of the world. I put my heart ahead of me at all times.

[philoxidizes]

Emotions as a shield? That's an unusual concept.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...I wonder who posted that secret about him.

[philoxidizes]

Is it bothering you?

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

Many find them to be a burden, trying to numb or seal them away. It is only by carrying a burden that we grow stronger.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Only a little.

[philoxidizes]

I'm sure it will all turn out fine.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

What if it doesn't?!

What if that girl ends up being way more exciting than I am and he forgets about me!
