Secrets

Secrecy is defined as the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret.

I believe we all have secrets, some big, some small. Some people long to be able to tell their secrets, to get them off their chest, other people find peace in having their little secret.

You may in a lifetime find those special people that will keep your secrets, that one person that you can tell absolutely anything without being judged or having your secrets told.

The reason I write this is not because I have a massive secret that I want to share but because last night I went to a talk by Frank Warren of Post Secret. I realized that there are so many people out there with secrets, some so tiny and insignificant to us but have an earth shattering grip on these people’s lives. Some secrets that are live changing and life threatening. These people find hope and solitude in sending a stranger their secrets. I guess it is nice to know that there is that person out there that you can tell anything without being judged and by telling someone your secret surely it’s not a secret anymore.

I also realized that there are people out there who are going through or have gone through the same things as me, they have had the same thoughts as me, made the same mistakes as me – I find that comforting.

Take a look at Post Secret - you are bound to find that one secret that you share with someone.
