Somewhere in the real world there is a tall young man with sad blue-gray eyes that has something he wants to say. He has been hurt or hurt others and he wants to put an end to the pain. The secrets that follow may not be real for me but they may be real for someone.

My name is Oncie.

I am the Once-ler.

I invented something great.

I once provided the world with thneeds.

They were a huge hit and drew my family to me.

I resent my family.

The only time they ever loved me was when it benefited them.

They took everything I had and left me when I was picked bare.

When I was a child they looked down on me.

They never believed in me and told me so every chance they got.

I left them as soon as I could.

When I finally settled down somewhere and made friends, I used them like my family used me.

After my thneeds began to sell, I allowed my greed to consume me.

I destroyed the local forest to produce more merchandise which chased away all my friends.

The only friends I have ever had were animals. :3

They tried to send me over a waterfall in my bed once while I was asleep. T.T

I believe in change for good.

A kid named Theodore taught me that.

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." ~Dr. Seuss, "The Lorax"


This is another tribute to My Secrets. It is a revolution taking over youtube to combat bullying and help support those who have suffered due to discrimination. If you believe in this cause, please pass on the message. If not, thank you for your time.
