Let me tell you a little secret: I don’t have any.
I’ve given all my secrets away.
I don’t trust them to any single person. I spread them around like chocolates.
Some of them are rich and dark. Others light and ephemeral. I have a collection I’ve given away that were hard to part with, but it’s hard to keep shiny things to myself.
Secrets are friendships. They’re the little pieces of yourself that are hard to part with, that you don’t want to trust to many people. But they weave friends closer together when you do.
Have you noticed the ones I give away on here? You may not think they’re much, but I love that I can be honest here, even if I’m still a bit mysterious.
But good secrets are important. Even if you never admit them completely, they add flair and style.
So for all the secrets you’ve shared, and friends you’ve made, and excitement you’ve added to your life, here’s a wish that you never run out.
