Alright, so I feel this place is being ripped apart by us, as a community being ripped apart. Same thing was kind of happening on another board I was on, and this thread popped up and brought us all back together, so I'm trying it here.

Anonymously confess things via the internet. You aren't allowed to judge or post hatefully towards another member's confession.

I can't hold an attraction (physically or emotionally) to someone I know who is younger than me, or if I see them, and find them attractive, but later find out their age, I feel disgusted. I've made slight exceptions, though, the youngest I've gone is by 13 days.

Just confess if you want to.

This is a good idea.

I'm an enourmous hypocrite.

When I was in my 20s my friends used to sometimes imply I might have a drug problem but it wasn't a problem really. I'd wake up in the morning and if I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to get high I'd smoke a joint and think about it. No problem.

Seriously, that was the truth back then. I haven't had a hoot in years, though. It just wouldn't look right in my line of work (Industrial Safety Advisor) to fail a D&A test. Might be detrimental to my career. (What ... ? Ya think?)

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

None of my "friends" implied it because they were all in the same place, and it was quite literally an every day thing, morning to night. But I think if you're lying, stealing, and fighting to get your money, you've got a serious problem.

Anyways, I cut all of them out of everything I do. I still somehow occasionally get a call from one of the bunch.

But those 2 or so years were depressing.

I have thrown out every song I have ever written because I never feel like its good enough. Who its supposed to be good enough for, I am still trying to figure out.

I never think I'm good enough either. I still have everything I've written, but I constantly edit it because I never like it.

I can't tell you how many songs I have "started" to write and never finished. Mostly because I don't know how to make an idea stretch out into more than one verse. The music part is never a problem for me. I am the master of chord progressions and melodies. Every song I start writing has at least one bridge and sometimes two with very melodic flow. The music comes to me naturally. Lyrics are my issue. I write one verse and one chorus and that's all I have to say and I'm stumped. I've done instrumetal pieces but they don't count in my mind.

The worst was when my mum passed about 16 months ago. I started to write a really beautiful song for her. It was by far the best work I'd ever done from a music perspective; a foray into country music, an area hitherto unexplored by me and I'd rate my musical composition right up there with the likes of Kieth Urban's writing, who is pretty much the only country artist I admire. Despite the lovely chords, the surprising musical twists and the beautiful melody line I can only summon one verse; not even a chorus. I've come back to it several times since and it just gets worse. Now I've lost the train of thought I had when I first started writing and I can't seem to find it again.

The thing that I hate is that I always seem to find lyrics when I'm away from a way of writing them down. Like when I'm in the shower, or in a movie, or wherever. It's weird, but it comes to me blankly sometimes, and then I lose it.

Another:

I own a pair of bellbottoms, and I'm wearing them right now. (Didn't always have to be serious stuff)

I legitimately like NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, etc. Another one of those weird things about myself that I don't understand either.
