My Deepest Secret

It's the last day of the year 2006. I guess this is as good a time as any to finally get it out in the open. For my whole life I've been keeping quiet, not telling anyone. Not my family, not my friends, not even my counsellors. But 2007 is the year I graduate from grade 12. 2007 is the year I turn 18, and therefore become an adult. And somehow, keeping something like this inside can become overwhelming at times. I don't know why I've never told anyone. Fear of the consequences, of what others might do and think I guess is a big reason. But that seems so cliche it hardly seems like a reason at all. For my whole life I've lived as if it were the contrary, as if it never bothered me at all. And really, it seems to work. No one has ever suspected it, or at least have called me up on it. No one has even mentioned it to my face. As I write this I almost have second thoughts about putting it down; even if it's just on my blog which no one really reads. I mean, do I really need to tell people? I've kept this to myself for so long.. maybe it's better if I just keep it that way.

No. I can't chicken out. I made up my mind and I'm going to say it. I won't give in. I won't back down. It's now or never. *deep breath* Here goes:

I hate the taste of haddock.
