Digital Confessional: Publishing Your Dirty Secrets

By Thomas J. / Friday, February 25th, 2011

Have you ever had something you wish you could say but didn’t have the balls to actually say it?

Let me introduce you to The Wishing Well, the place to finally get those things off of your chest. Kind of like PostSecret without the artistic inclination, “The Wishing Well is a space where gay men can express the thoughts or feelings about another man that they can’t say to him in person, for whatever reason.”

While often about lost or tainted love, the topics actually go deeper than just those things you wish you had told your ex. The completely anonymous forum allows the “wisher” to relinquish his darkest confessions.

These confessions range from the funny:

“The whole time you were rimming me (which was aaages) all I needed to do was fart!”

To the honest:

“When you told me you were positive I fell in love with you a bit”

To the sad:

“I got into a huge fight with my mom, and she shot me with ‘What parent will want a gay doctor for their children?’ I don’t really want to be a pediatrician any more.”

No topic is off limits at the Wishing Well; it’s a place to just let it out, and with the ability to comment on other people’s “wishes,” you may find that you’re not alone in your secret.
