Missed Connections is a section of the online classifieds, Craigslist.  An extension of more conventional personal ads, it is an anonymous forum for the telling of secrets – words written in hopes that they will be seen by the right eyes, confessions of forbidden love, things one thinks but would never say out loud.  

The nature of these postings requires that the author abandon pretense and cut to the heart of the matter.  In addition to being anonymous, postings on Missed Connections are deleted after no more than ten days.
