Well, today I admitted a really big secret to someone through email. It was system shocked into it by some recent events and I couldn't keep the secret anymore. I couldn't keep secrets from this person and it drove me mad to have this secret.
Anyway, I was terrified this secret was going to tear our friendship apart. I waited all night for an answer and no word, I was driving myself crazy wondering if I'd wrecked everything. Finally, I got an answer only to discover I had torn myself apart over nothing.
The point of posting this was kind of a message to all of those who ever tear themselves up over ANYTHING. It's never worth it. In the end, it will work out the way it's supposed to, no matter if that appears to be for the better or for the worse.
They always did say honesty was the best policy and now I know it is. If you're keeping a secret from someone that could help them or your relationship then tell them! It will help you grow as a person and make you feel a whole lot better inside.
There are certain things that I let certain people know about. But only if I know there cool with whatever it is I'm about to tell them. If I'm not sure, I'm always scared they will judge me or look down on me. So I know what it feels like to really worry about that sorta thing. I don't know. I like to keep my personal **** to myself, unless I'm absolutely positive there will be no negative effect on my relationship w/ a person.
I wasn't absolutely sure but I went for it. I can't keep secrets that could effect my relationship with people. My friends are too important to me to do that.
Honesty is always the best policy when friends are concerned. A true friend will except things and secrets you've held in. Always be honest with your friends. It's good you learned this lesson. It is always true!
My wise counsil is avaliable in desperate and dire times, but each session will cost you a bottle of crown royale (female only) or twenty dollars.
My opinion is that of E_E's. You gotta be honest with your friends. Well unless it's not a friend you can trust. And if they can't accept that your being honest with them, then it wasn't meant to be.
