When Does a Secret Stop Being a Secret?
Dears,
What is a secret, and when does it stop being one?
For me, a secret is something so heavy on your chest that you can’t tell a soul. The moment you decide it’s something no one should ever know, it becomes a secret—at least in your mind. But what happens if someone else finds out? Does that mean it’s no longer a secret?
And what if that person is trustworthy? How do you even decide who to trust with your deepest, darkest secrets? I don’t have the answer yet. But maybe a true secret is something unspoken, something that stays between you and yourself—never mentioned, never acknowledged.
So… do you have any secrets?
Oh, wait—once you say you have a secret, doesn’t that mean it’s not a secret anymore?
