  • Recently a Friend of mine told me a secret

  • and I hate secrets

  • Knowing a secret is like a door to another universe

  • opening up with monsters flying out trying to destroy my life

  • *Monster noises*

  • Okay now you're just being dramatic

  • I'm not being dramatic because I've made a career out of expressing myself online

  • By over-sharing my experiences and my thoughts

  • So, I am not a good choice to confide your questionably moral secrets to

  • I mean besides the fact that I will inevitably make a video about it

  • the whole time I feel like a walking bomb!

  • Hey Anna, what's up?

  • I can't tell you

  • Why what's wrong?

  • SHUT UP and GO AWAY!

  • Jesus, ok, sorry...

  • No! Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Ok.

  • Ok, you can't tell anyone.

  • No Anna DON'T!

  • I can't keep holding this in!

  • What is going on?

  • *Screaming*

  • I'm not the only one who feels like this, right?

  • I mean having a secret stresses me out!

  • It's physically exhausting, you have to carry it with you wherever you go

  • To lunch

  • *Somber music*

  • To work

  • *Somber music*

  • To the bathroom

  • *Beans falling on tile*

  • and the whole time, I just want to spill the beans

  • *Rimshot*

  • I would make a terrible president...

  • Madam president, you can't just broadcast top secrets to the entire nation

  • BUT, if the president says it then it's not classified any more, Allen.

  • That's true ma'am but as your lead advisor I have to advise you not to do this

  • Yeah but, Jim everyone could know that their's aliens right now!

  • Imagine how many alien friends we could have right now!

  • There would be widespread panic!

  • I'm the widespread panic!

  • You have no idea how hard it is to know who assassinated JFK and not be able to talk about it

  • I have an entire book of secretz full of secrets that I can't tell anyone!

  • Like the contents of Area 51

  • Or the out takes for the moon landing

  • Or Obama's favourite fooooood...

  • Pizza, God he's so relatable

  • He's a great guy

  • To be clear, I am still keeping this a secret, ok, I don't intend to tell anyone

  • Because then I would be untrustworthy and none of my friends would want to tell me anything

  • So my lips *Zipper sound* are locked

  • Although I did accidentally tell somebody on facebook message about it, on accident

  • *Dramatic music*

  • It's been the worst though like all the screaming in this video is just kind of representative of all the internal screaming that I'm doing in real life

  • But what about you? Do you like keeping secrets?

  • Or are like me does it just stress you the fuck out? Yay!
