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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
