"Secrets don't make friends!" This is a very well known phrase among young childeren. It is usually spoken by the third party, the kid who didn't get to hear the secret. This kid is jealous, so said kid finds a way to release the jealousy. This really got me thinking. Secrets do make friends. You have to be able to trust your friends 100% when you tell them a secret. The good friends will keep the secret. The ok-ish friend will tell a couple people, and the bad friend will tell a lot of people and add on to it. What if we couldn't trust anyone with our secrets? How would our lives be different?
Recently one of my very good friends told me a very deep secret. To be honest, I had never expected him to tell me anything like this. He is a great friend, and I really look up to him, but he kept his thoughts to himself. When he told me this secret, I was shocked. He was worried that it would change our friendship, but I was caught up wondering what it took for him to be so open with me.
Honesty is a very good character trait to have. Nothing bothers me more than when people are dishonest with me. When everyone tells lies or half-truths, it just makes everything a big mess. Things also get into a big mess when people keep certain things to themselves. Lesson here... BE HONEST! It will eventually help you in the long run.
