Anonymous Confessions

A confession is not always a wrongdoing. Sometimes it is admitting you never wanted the life you built, that you love someone you shouldn't, that you feel nothing where you are supposed to feel everything.

Everything here is published without a real name. Read with an open mind; the point is not to judge but to recognise.

桜の下で

お母さん、ごめんなさい。あの日、あなたの作ったお弁当を「恥ずかしい」と言ってしまいました。友達の前で、あなたの手作りのおにぎりを見て、私は笑いました。あなたは何も言わず、ただ静かにうつむきました。その夜、あなたは私のお弁当箱をしまいました。今、私は大学生になり、一人暮らしをしています。毎日コンビニのお弁当を食べています。あなたのおにぎりの温かさを、今は恋しく…

Questions

What is the difference between a secret and a confession?

A secret is something you hide; a confession is something you admit. Most stories here are both at once.

Will my confession be reported?

Only where the law requires it — credible threats to a specific person, child sexual abuse material, or an ongoing crime against a person. Everything else stays anonymous.
