Secrets

Secrets. Everyone has secrets. "I hate him." "I like her." "My father beats me." "I'm pregnant." "I shouldn't really be president." Secrets simultaniously seperate us all and keep us together. I mean let's face it, our country is built on secrets. Our very own government has always believed that the less people know, the better. And let's be honest, we get upset when the media keeps information from us, but if we knew everything we would live in constant panic.

But enough about the government/media. What about common secrets? Secrets among friends or family. Are they healthy? Is it good when some people in a group know or feel something about others who don't know? Can the friendships really maintain in those kind of situations? I think so. I mean, as long as the secrets are not devastating. The reason I feel that it can be healthy is because sometimes it's too much to hold in the way you feel. Sometimes you need that person to bounce emotions off of. Plus, secrets are never really about the secret. It's about the trust you have with the person you tell it to.

But just be careful. Sometimes secrets can be a lot more damaging that you could imagine. Sometimes it's best to keep your lips sealed.

Well, that's my advice for the day. But shh... Don't tell anybody. :)


Live, love & learn!
