When we can open our hearts and talk to our heart's content or spill out our darkest secrets. And like you said, in the cover of darkness, we perhaps become more comfortable because there's no eye-to-eye contact, just the words between us, and no other distractions!RGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279590663523317849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-55381525527651338462011-02-04T12:25:57.200+05:302011-02-04T12:25:57.200+05:30John:

We sit around someone's bedroom with the lights off and just lay back and talk about anything we want to. usually with a bar of chocolate or 2 being passed around! because you can't actually see each other's faces it gives you a sense of anonimity - you feel free to say things you might not when face to face with someone, even a good friend. <br />It's kinda like that thing I remember at school where you all lay on your backs in a circle and close your eyes and describe how you feel, or what you are thinking etc.<br />maybe it's a bit like contributing to a blog conversdation...lol!Jessicahttp://jessicasjapes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-5288565050047799622011-02-03T18:05:30.755+05:302011-02-03T18:05:30.755+05:30Once there is the shroud of darkness where one can...Once there is the shroud of darkness where one can hear only the voice and not see the expression on the face, dark secrets are easier to spill. <br /><br />This can also be a possible reason why internet chatting is so popular.Chandrika Shubhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765666976286325907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-72771567550526950182011-02-03T17:34:23.559+05:302011-02-03T17:34:23.559+05:30I as well, find it so much easier to say what'...I as well, find it so much easier to say what's on my mind with the cover of darkness.

Sometimes, it feels like it is the right time for all the discussions. It neednot be talking to someone, I many a times talk to myself.
