Unpopular opinion: I used to think posting my L's online was just asking for trouble until my barber in Fresno said one thing
I've always been the type to bury my screwups and never tell a soul, mostly because I wrecked my mom's Camry at 17 and got roasted for it for months. Then a couple days ago my barber Marcus was cutting my hair and he mentioned how he totally bombed a $400 wedding cake he made for his cousin, dropped the whole top tier right on the driveway in front of 60 guests. He laughed about it and said the cousin still brings it up at every cookout and they both crack up now, and honestly that hit me different because I'd been sitting on my own disaster for 3 months feeling sick about it. So here's mine: I locked my keys, my phone, and my dog in my running car outside a Taco Bell in Modesto and had to call the fire department. Anyone else got one they've been too embarrassed to share?
Ha, that Taco Bell story is amazing and you should tell it at every party from now on. Marcus is right, the stuff we hide just grows teeth and eats us alive. I once backed my dad's truck into a mailbox and told him a tree fell on it, and that lie sat in my gut for two years until I finally cracked. When I told him the truth he laughed so hard he had to sit down, said he'd done way worse as a kid. The secret was heavier than the crime the whole time.
