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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
