If there's one thing I've learned it's that there would be no gossip without secrets. You might be brave enough to reveal your secret only to have it used against you. Or someone else's secret might affect you in enexpected ways. There are some secrets you're only too happy to keep. Others surface only to be buried away deeper than they were before. But the most powerful secrets are the truths you thought you could never reveal. That once spoken, change everything.
When you care about someone, you want them to stay. But sometimes showing you care means letting them go.
Growing up means one thing — independence. We all want it. Sometimes we use other people to try to get it for ourselves. Sometimes we find it in each other. Sometimes our independence comes at the cost of something else. And that cost can be high. Because more often than not, in order to gain our independence we have to fight. Never give up — never surrender.
