It is...

Tan tanaaa!!!
Feeling freed from a burden of a secret!!!! RELIEVED.
So felt like talking about the burdens connected with secrets. Secrets are such strange things; something that is hidden so that it can be conveniently revealed to someone in such a way that the person is forced to not feel wrong about you. That is, when you do something wrong, you hide it and reveal it to the only person who will be affected and by doing so; you compel the person to not treat you harshly (who would otherwise have done so) because of it. hmm…. quite a puzzling thing it is.
So, SECRETS. So trust me, the best thing to do when you have a secret is to let go of it and free yourself from it. It is the best mantra. Because you usually hide it, when you think it is unacceptable and the more you cling to it, the more it pressurises you. It makes you feel worse about the issue every time you think of it and by doing you, you start considering yourself as a selfish creature to have done such a thing. And which makes you think that that particular thing was an unforgivable mistake. And so on and so forth.
BUT, the moment you share it with someone (even with someone hardly connected to it), the first thing you realise is that there is not anything that cannot be talked about, listened to, discussed about and forgiven. And while doing so, you automatically (because of self defence) come up with justifications for the act and clear your mind for harsh self-judgements. This is when you yourself get answers as to why something happened at the first place. More than knowing that a person has accepted you after knowing it, you feel better by acknowledging that you have finally accepted the fact and are fine with it. Your previously-considered wrong actions make sense to you then and your explanations make you forgive yourself. And I am not talking about BIG secrets here. Even a simple secret like getting to know someone likes someone else makes you hide it is because you aren’t supposed to know about it, until it has been official. It might not be something deplorable but still it is not apt for you to know it in a premature state. You can somewhat say, it might not be politically correct or something.
Again there are some other secrets like you being pregnant or something which you wish to keep to yourself until it is confirmed. These secrets are not what I am mentioning here. That you keep undisclosed because you aren’t sure of it and hence consider it too early and untimely to be told about. these are light, pleasant secrets and I am talking about those heavy secrets which might often give you headaches. Even then, even these kind of secrets have something in common with the secrets I am talking about. these secrets too, aren’t told usually because you are unsure of the situation and thereby might mislead people into expecting something. Which is why, they can also be categorised as incorrect and somehow can be linked to my explanation as to why secrets exist. But clearly there is a difference between these two types of secrets which is almost parallel to the difference between a black lie and a white one.
Hmm…. This makes sense to me, though I am not sure how many will be able to understand it. anyways, the bottom line is that feel free to share your secrets without the fear of being judged. And also that, secrets are good in a way, they give you the freedom to choose the right moment to reveal it to people and make them not condemn you for it. and in a way, it is a way of expressing that you were guilty about doing so or maybe sorry for whatever happened or at least considered it improper to be told at that moment. And yes, MAIN POINT. Don’t hide anything from me na, I would not mind if you told me about it. SO SECRETS PEOPLE…….!!!!!!!!!! Tell me asap! (And yes, don’t be extremely mean and give me horrid details of what you think about me. Such secrets are best kept HIDDEN! And yes, if there are such things, how dare you visit my blog and try knowing what I am up to? Finding more reasons to hate me? Anyways, good for me too. READERSHIP matters!)
