Hello again, everyone! If you're familiar with the chatterbox DLS thread by Faceophilia, then you can go ahead and post. If you aren't, then keep reading.
What is this thread for?
This thread is to confess anything from a secret you've been holding forever, to how you feel about an event going on in your life. It is similar to PostSecret, except expressing your emotions is allowed here---no secret required!
What can I not post here?
Things that are long, require more than one post, and will cause others to comment on it. Things like mourning the loss of a loved one, mental illness, or parental or spousal abuse is not allowed in this thread; please make a thread in the Life Issues subforum on the guild if it is as serious as that.
So what counts as a good post?
Good and bad are very loose terms here; if you absolutely must say how you feel, but you're afraid of explaining it, then you are allowed to simply state "I'm so angry!", or I'm ______. These are typically bad posts, but they won't get you in trouble. Good posts will explain why you're feeling the way you do. For example, a good post could be "I'm so angry! My friends were going to invite me to the party, but they they skipped out on me!"
Thread Etiquette:
I got a gift from Anonymous? What is this?
There are people who stalk the chatterbox DLS/Confessions thread and anonymously gift users a small item with a feel-good message related to their problem posted there. Since Almost Poetic posts there with a link to the guild in her signature, don't be surprised if one or two anons decide to do the same thing here. It most likely won't happen, but there's always the chance.

Thread Etiquette:
- DO NOT urge or encourage anyone to kill themselves. Not even as a joke. Not even if the person knows it's a joke, and you two have been best friend for decades and always joke about it.
Refrain from judging other members. We all have our dark days.
What is said in the thread stays in the thread. Don't bring up a post a member made five years ago into the thread they are currently using for questing. This is not only unnesscessary, it's rude.
You may quote a post if it speaks to you, or if you are feeling the same way, or if you were going to post it. Do not quote users with the intent of starting a conversation. If you can't PM the person, don't talk to him/her. You may talk if the person is really hurting and you've been through something similar. But please be careful with your words.
Unless if the song explains how you're feeling better than you can, please refrain from posting song lyrics.
