hero_farmboyIs this a trick question? No, seriously, is it?
All right. Well, I guess I could go the whole generic side stepping route and say that everyone keeps secrets, and it would be the truth. Everyone does. And to each person, those secrets are probably a really big deal and in the context of their lives, they're probably right.
Do I keep secrets? Yeah, I do. I keep a lot of secrets. Some of them I don't mind keeping, because they're not anyone else's business but mine. Some of them I think of more like habits, because it's just the way I was brought up. And some of them I hate keeping and wish I didn't have to because they feel more like burdens, but I do. So I keep them.
I've been fortunate to find a few people that I trust enough to let some of those burdens out, and it helps. It really does. But then that adds in a whole new dimension of having to keep track of who knows what secret and who doesn't. And then that's another secret I have to keep. Why? Well, it's secret. But despite that, there still isn't anyone who knows everything about me or what I know.
So yeah, I keep secrets. I know secrets in and out, up and down, backwards and forwards. And I probably always will.
