Remember What Matters: Let All Else Go By

As Mr. Simplicity, I try to limit the number of apps I upload onto my phone. Both  productive and fun stuff are kept to the basics. And there isn't much there for inspiration — I find much of that from the people and places around me.






I've found one amazing exception, however: Secret.ly






The idea is simple: You and and anyone who choses to join from your network share one truth, one secret — anonymously. That no-names thing allows you to share your most private thoughts, without fear they'll come back to you. 



Here are a few of my friend's secret thoughts...



• My baby boy passed away recently. I saw his picture today and cried because I love him and miss him. I'm a guy so no one thinks to talk to me. Seattle



• It's my goal in life for all of my exes to think of me as "that one that got away." California



• I'm a woman with a successful career but I fantasize about being a housewife and that makes me feel guilty, like I'm setting back centuries of the women's lib movement. California



• No matter how successful you get, you can always count on a visit to the dentist to remind you you're also a child who refuses to follow instructions. Illinois





• I wish education wasn't so slow to change. It's making me fall out of love with my job. All I want to do is be a great teacher. Pennsylvania



• It's actually much more enjoyable to be a single parent than I would have thought. Las Vegas



• I have a magic weapon. My daughter. One look at her and all the dark thoughts are gone. Israel



• Whenever I try to breakdown why I hate someone, I realize it's because they have the same characteristics as me. California



• Once I discovered a long-term boyfriend was cheating on me by finding his overnight sex bag he hid in his car trunk. I stole the condoms and put pepper oil in the lube bottle. California



• Do not come to my house, open a browser and type the letter x. California



• One time I brought a can of cat food to a dinner party instead of pate and no one noticed. Except maybe Bill. I think Bill may have noticed. South Dakota



• Love is: Warming up your partner's MS meds before you inject him. California



Secret.ly is one of my daily reminders to...

Remember what really matters.

Let all the other stuff go by.
