  • Secrets


    There were some things we have sworn never to tell anyone EVER.  These secrets were such a big deal at the time.  But then you grow up, move on, and forget about them…until you sit down with your friends and reveal them years later.

    Some of the information that were once top secret and potent enough to end friendships have been degraded to the status of harmless jokes because they don't matter anymore.  Sometimes I wonder whether that is irony in life - if you wait long enough, you can eventually laugh and find humor even in the most seriousness of things.

    i agree...thats why the intelligence agencies and the Vatican doesn't release anything until 50 years down the line...so we can all just LAUGH about the CRAZY and BAD things that they did......since its so long ago lolz =P

    Time heals most things.

    But like be_lie said, sometimes it still hurts.
    Good ideas.

    time fades away with our memory.  and the older we grow, the more resilient we are when looking back to the past and not be affected by it anymore.

    I think it still depends on things like how old you are and how long is a long time, whether you matured or how you define things, then and now. Secrets always have some power in them, as long as you give them power.

    Crushes are such good examples of these

    I have one secret I'd never tell. Ever.

    I wet the bed once at summer camp in elementary.

    (Whew) Now that that's off of my chest.. hahahahaha

    It's funny; I think that all jokes aside, when we look into the past, each of us tries to look back and position a positive light on the situations that occured. You know, like that sephia shade. lol

    I for one, had a lot of crazy drama/controversy/embarrassing moments growing up. My name was always somewhere for something. I was infamous for my tardies, fights, group fights, comedic school-teacher affairs, art & music, you name it. Which sucked, b/c I was more or less anti-social at the time also. During the era, this was all horrible and I was and am still slightly a secretive/restricted person.

    But that was then, and I want to look into my past and be able to share with enthusiasm. Yes, I was pretty much followed by either the deans, police officers, or girls my entire grade school academic career and somewhat into college.. BUT. I had fun lol

    With that being said, I think i'll have to wait a few years, or at least until I leave the surrounding area, before I can share with you the secrets i'm holding onto NOW. ;)

    Secrets and relationships alike. Something that was profound or painful can seem so frivolous in hindsight.

  • azndood4you

    you are so right.  this is just a simple but amazing truth 

  • tiMUhfi

    well said.


    i used to be very ashamed of my embarrassing incidents. i kept them hidden as secrets. now i'm growing out of it because i realize that they were only passing moments, and they will only be passing moments. face them, get over them, move on.

    That's how one guy I know deals with it.

    Me: Hey man, you ever gonna pay me back for that pipe you broke?

    Guy: Yea man, next week.

    *Next week*

    Me: Hey man, you ever gonna pay me back for that pipe you broke?

    Guy: Na man, that was last week. Get over it.

    Me: Okie then. *Loads shotgun*
