The Secrets You Keep

It starts like this…something happens that you don’t want anyone to know about.

Eventually it becomes a beast that eats at your soul. You need to release it and share it with someone else; someone you trust who has skin in the game because they have told you their secrets.

You’ll regret this because the relationship, the hemming and the hawing that goes on and on – the battle in your mind. Eventually the person you tell will run onto the playing field like a coach instructing you how to win the game. 

The spectacular secrets are the ones you have never told another living soul and they could light a room on fire.

Deeply rooted in your foundation, they are the reason you stay standing and the reason you are down on your knees. 

 Every secret you tell is one secret too many.

Once told, it can never be untold. 

A Secret is a Secret.
