Has it ever happened that someone told you to keep a secret but you were unable to do so? Secrets come in two packages; good or bad. Some secrets are worth keeping because revealing them may prove detrimental towards a person's overall well-being and happiness. However, others are definitely required to reveal because the truth has the supreme power of restoring a person's life and sending them towards a path of righteousness and improvement. Sometimes keeping secrets is such a daunting and difficult task that it makes you want to squirt out all the facts immediately.

Nevertheless, there are usually solid and concrete reasons behind why someone tells you to keep a secret. It is recommended that we respect their wish and try to keep the matter to ourselves till they feel they are ready to disclose the secret themselves. Since the famous adage goes as follows: everything should happen at the right time and right place and so do the unveiling of shocking secrets.

For instance, a potential secret could fall into the lines of not divulging your most embarrassing incident quite easily. Many things can happen throughout the journey of life and sometimes some events are way more embarrassing and traumatic to display in the spotlight. According to recent surveys, the most popular types of secrets kept by most people circulate around affairs, embarrassing moments, web browsing history, family secrets, and phobias.

As a matter of fact, secrets that I have kept from family and friends are ideas about a surprise visit or a surprise party. Throwing surprise parties for family and friends are always incredible because you can spend some time stealthily anticipating the probable reactions they will give once they get surprised. Being able to observe that awestruck surprised look brings a huge smile on my face because that's when I start to realize how much surprises can mean to people. Their flamboyant award-winning facial expressions prove how not all secrets are bad to keep as they may end in surprises. As far as I know, surprises usually tend to be superb as well as a bit out of the blue.

At the same time, matters of the heart are also known to be quite an enticing secret to absorb and hold inside for a longer period of time. I have met many lovebirds in my life who have secretly fallen in love and were initially hesitant to accept their developing feelings for each other. As nature takes its course, both of them were unable to suppress their delicate and intensely driven feelings for each other leading to the subsequent outburst of expressions of love. Indeed, such secrets end up coming out in the open because these romantic feelings should not be kept inside.

Instead, these tender lovey-dovey feelings should be accepted and shared with the world without any fear or shame. Likewise, keeping secrets is alright if they are meant to be kept in the dark. But, please do not keep secrets if they are destined to be confessed in the public eye and will serve to eradicate all evil as well as promote enriched goodness in the world!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
