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?

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.
