I'm Terence Eduarte and I'm an illustrator from the Philippines. Every person has an interesting story to tell and I wanted to channel that into this project. I gathered a lot of silly secrets from friends and unexpected confessions from strangers around the world.

Here are some of them.

"It Was My 28th Birthday Last Week And No One Remembered It. Not A Single Call Or Text From My Friends And Family. So I Woke Up The Next Day, Sat Outside My House And Cried Quietly. My Dog Came And Started Crying Too. It Was The Most Beautiful Thing Someone Has Ever Done For Me"

Wrong friends. (Perhaps this is an ignorant answer, but in the end, I think it's true.)

You need new friends. It's exhausting finding equally caring people and lonely until you do, but worth it in the end

My personal peeve: someone who calls me up and the first thing out of their mouth is. "Hey, how's it going?" And all I can think is: "You contacted me, and now I have to volunteer information before I know why you called?"

this is true cause people only come to you or call you when they are sad. your so called best friend will be in his/her own dreamy world with his/her gf/bf until or unless his/her gf/bf either hurt or say something minor or something like such.. well this is why i've just stopped caring for people..love yourself before you love somebody else.. :)

Perhaps you care & empathize more than most. They may see you as a strong person & not even think to ask, they just assume ur always good.

Instead you should ask how you are. If you're ok, then you're ok. Why should anyone else's opinions matter to you?

You're missing the point - it's not about their opinions, it's about receiving care, concern and nuturing from others. If you are someone who expresses your care, but doesn't recieve care, it's hurtful

There will be a lot of comments here that you (or someone in this situation) may see. Some will be negative. But if you read just one comment here, please let it be this: a miscarriage was not your fault. You would have loved your baby unconditionally - whether you held it in your arms or asked someone else to raise it. The fact that you were scared and uncertain just means you are human - a kind, compassionate human. You will make an amazing mother one day. <3
