Everyone have secrets, of that I'm sure. There are things you don't want to share even to your closest friends. Maybe you're afraid to be judge and misunderstood or maybe its just a social taboo to talk about it. So you keep it within yourself, not saying anything. Its when you really want to tell the world about it but you can't because maybe they'll condemn you. It's a secret you won't tell.
Suddenly, someone tells you they're going through the same thing and suddenly the world is lighter. Today, I realized I'm not the only person on the boat. I thought about other people who are struggling with their feelings about something and how it is very difficult for them. It isn't really a social taboo but as what a friend say, I'm afraid of social condemnation even though it's happening in the status quo right now. This is a situation where none would understand if you're not on the same page as me or if you're not open-minded. Maybe I am afraid of social condemnation, I'm also afraid of society's dictation. Then again, I've always been a pro-choice. I tried not to be hypocritical with things. I am a woman of principles. I've always looked at people in a different view because I don't want to judge them base on society's norms. This is what being a UPian has taught me, that there's more than meets the eye. So I choose not to share this secret because I feel that some people aren't ready for it. Believe me, it has nothing to do with sexuality, if that's my problem, it would be really easy to say it out loud. It's something more, more personal than I thought.
I'm glad to know that someone is actually there with me on the boat.
Some secrets are worth the keep, they are the ones you'd rather want to have as a good memory.
What's your secret?
