Secrets

Everyone has secrets; Dark, dirty, little, sweet, happy, whatever…

Secrets can be shared, but we choose the bearer. Once shared, it becomes a kind of unwritten agreement. Some secrets we just want to share to minimize the burden on ourselves. Some we share because for some reason, someone else is involved and he/she needs to know about it. Some shared in committment to a certain kind of relationship..

Secrets can become lies. An untold event kept within ourselves and that no one else knows, is a secret. When asked by someone, we could say “It is a secret that you cannot know.” — this is honest; If we put it in another way “No, this thing never happened.” … or intentionally say something to hide the secret, like.. “You know I love you the most… how could i bear to hurt you…?” — this is a lie. A person with a lot of secrets and never get asked (to be in a situation whereby he/she still want to keep the secret and have no other choice but to lie)

Most secrets hurt. We keep them as secrets mainly because we dont want to hurt others or ourselves. Kept to protect, if not why else would one want to keep it a secret? Maybe not all cases. Maybe secrets like “My first kiss with…. where the sunset.. blah blah..” are just meant to be kept because it is what holds true to oneself and the party involved, sweet and “This is our little secret.”..
