Secrets

Everyone has a secret. I have secrets. You have secrets. It might be big, it might be small. You may have not told many people. We hold secrets for other people. Or maybe they hold ours. So, no matter what... we have one. I wonder if there is a day that no matter how long or how small or how big the secret it, it has to come out. Is it inevitable? Is that the evolution of a secret? That...one day it WILL come out. I suppose sometimes people's secrets are discovered or maybe the day comes where you decide you want/have to let the secret out.

In most cases, I think we trust our close friends and/or family with them. We are probably very selective about how we divulge them. I can't imagine what it is like to keep a secret from everyone you know. I know my secrets are with certain people in my life. Some will never know them. Some know them all.  Maybe the secret seems less of one when you keep it away from those who know you the best and love you the most? But, the point is, SOMEONE knows.

This weekend, someone who has been in my life for a very long time shared a secret with me and it completely stunned me. It left me speechless and in some way, my heart is hurting. I'm just trying to process it all.

It's weird b/c it makes sense and yet it doesn't. I want to freak out, but I haven't.  I want to be there for this person, and absolutely will. But, I realized that while we think that some people we meet or see or know, seem perfect or ok.....everyone has something they carry with them.

I'll tell you a secret. Many people in my life don't know that I have this blog. So, if you are reading this. You know at least one about me.

hey.. whatever that secret was.. I hope it's not hurting you too much. And if it is.. i hope you feel better. Perhaps there was good reason to keep it hidden (by your friend). There are things that sometimes I wish I didn't know.. but were necessary.

Hope all is well..
