Secrets in the Dark
By Secrets In the dark
It gets lonely at 3 AM with nothing to do but stare at the ceilings, with no one to talk to you just fade in and out of your memory. Secrets in the Dark is a podcast about those moments where you feel like you need a friend, when you want someone to tell you a story, their story and soothe you to sleep. Secrets in the Dark is a confession and a friend for all of us loners. Tune in, and find a friend. Maybe you'll stumble onto something you wanted to hear or something you wanted to say. Once every two weeks, at 3 AM when the weekend rolls in and the loneliness does too, I'll tell you a story!

We lost the World Cup
This year had its ups and downs. A defining moment was perhaps the ICC World Cup which India lost. This episode of Secrets in the Dark recounts things that happened while someone was gone. It recounts all the things that happened while the loved one was gone and tries to catch them up on life while mourning their absence especially, in a brand new year.

Breaking your mother's heart
You wonder sometimes as you look at your mother how does she thinks about you? Does she like you, does she like have you look, what you have done and you wonder why she never said anything to you and she thinks the same. Every time you do something big, you make her proud, but you break her heart too - you are too grown now, you are far away from your mother's safety.

Old Friends

Maybe I am not special, just loud
I am not that good at this. Maybe I am not exceptional. Maybe I am just bad at things. I used to think that I was special and gifted. I wish I was great at something. I wish there was something that I could be proud of. Maybe I don't deserve the things that I do get either. There's this frustration here. I am just average now, no longer the smartest one in the class. And I hate it. linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast

I hate you for loving me
I wish you didn't look at me like I could be something that I am not. It has been so hard for me to accept this, but I am not this person, I can not be this person. I hate you for loving the veesion of me that doesn't exist and will never exist. linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast

Party
Hello, Happy New Year. I am sorry I can't make it to your party today. I mean, I honestly don't know how to say this, but I don't want to be this person anymore. I can't keep drinking my life away. I did that for a bit, and only I know how hard it has been to be telling you this. I don't want to ruin your celebrations. I am glad that you thought of me. I just can't anymore. I hope you understand. linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast

Warmth on Christmas
Last year we had made a pact, we watch movies lying on my floor and talking. It was nice when you were around and I could watch all the gay movies right next to you and then hold you close. But now that you have left, Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas. linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Spiral
You have to wake up in the morning and get to this class and so you set your alarms, right on time so you don't miss it and then as you get ready to go to bed your mind plays its games on you. Spirals out of control. It talks about things you did not know about and it just keeps talking. Never stops. Convincing you of your worst fears and you let it. linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast

It's (just) you
I wouldn't do this if it was anyone else. As much of a doormat I am, I still wouldn't do this for anyone. Its just you. You who I'd wait for. And I wonder sometimes if I just hung around would I have you? Is there any way that I could have you? Links: linktr.ee/secretsinthedarkthepodcast

To have a friend
Isn't it so special to have a friend? Someone you could go to with anything you feel, whatever you are thinking about, someone who'd listen to you say things that do not make sense but laud you still for who you are. To have a friend is to have a reason to fight this cruel world everyday. This is for you, my dear friend.
Oct 14, 202208:00
Why fight?
As a precursor to the Mental Health Awareness Month, and the fact that a lot of us hold on to hope believing that things would get better but seem to meet situations over and over that make us wonder, "why should I fight?" This episode is a sad one. T.W. suicidal ideation and depression

Closure
I ask you why. Why me? I ask you because I have to close this chapter to move forward. Closure is the only way forward right? Pain is stored in places you cannot move on from. And so to move away from pain, I have to move away from these feelings. All I want, is closure. But is it worth it? Episode 6 of Season 2 is on closure and if it helps. Secrets in the Dark is out once in two weeks, on Saturdays at 3 AM.

Don't leave me here
Isn't it a different heartbreak when you find someone who is nice, who is trying their best to have your back but you cannot accept it. Episode 4 , Season 2 Don't Leave Me Here talks about how it goes when you aren't ready for a good thing but you desperately want to hold on to it still.

Online Love
In a world that is isolated and lonely, the only way to find something, atleast how it seems is, to join an Online Dating Platform and looking through a well curated bunch of people. But its tiring to actually do something to keep them around so we just find someone else. And that kids, is how modern romance works.

There is no way to separate loss from love, there is no way to get over loss or love.
