What Is A ​Secret?​

Se·cret

adjective

not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others.


When considering something to be a secret, think what the statement holds. Is it personal to you or to someone you love? Is it dangerous? Are you willing to accept the consequences of telling that said secret?


Whether you choose to tell this secret to get ahead or because you think it will help someone. You need to realize that it's not yours to tell. No matter how big or small, a secret is a secret for a reason.


When someone tells you a secret they only do this because they have an unlimited amount of trust in you. By telling their secret you've lost something you will never have again in the same way.


The person may choose to forgive you. If they choose to do that, you will never know them as deeply as they were hoping to let you in. You've lost a friend.


If the secret is yours, be careful who you tell. You never know who is actually on your side or who is trying to get ahead of you.
Before telling someone something deep and personal about yourself think about how the person will react. Will they treat you differently? Will they tell everyone? Will they use it against you? Depending on how you answer these questions should tell you if that is the right person to tell your beloved secret to.


Secrets are meant to be kept. They allow you to have a connection with another person. Something that only you and that person know. It makes the bond tighter. It makes you feel as if you have someone to rely on.


A secret is an inside look to who you are, what you like, and what shaped you to be you. With that being said, who will you tell your secret to?

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
