Secrets

Question: Why do we keep secrets?

I used to be one of those people who thought you should have someone in your life that you would not keep a secret from, but as I've grown & matured I've discovered you can't tell anyone everything, you know? Sometimes it's just good to have something for yourself. Though that really has nothing to do w/what I've been thinking about.

Well it does kinda…

I mean what makes people keep secrets? How do you decide that this thing is worth withholding…@ risk of say hurting feelings, or sacrificing a relationship, or damaging your dignity?

Are secrets the same as lies?

Idk really…I just know as an adult we make decisions & choices…some not so easy to make, but that's the price of being an adult & as an adult you can't shy away from things b/c it inconveniences you. Consider the next time you decide to keep a "secret" if it will be more detrimental to tell or to keep the secret. Consider whether if the person (s) kept the same or similar secret from you how you would feel. Then decide whether you're being selfish or genuine in your secret keeping or secret telling. The revelation may surprise you.

Idk. I was just thinking about how people just do what they want sometimes w/no regard for others nor situations.

Guess that's life.

Is it your life?

Idk.

Think about it though.

My theoretical answer: b/c its convenient (that's the answer to a lot of 'whys').
