Hi any readers I do have, I haven't written in a while but I am back.

Secrets.
Secrets. Secrets. Secrets.
Everyone has a secret a dirty little truth they don't want to get out. But why? Why does society force people to hide things? If everyone has a secret, why should it matter who knows yours? It is not 1865. Here is the thing. You don't know your secret. I certainly don't know my secret. Is it the disease I had a child? Is it my desires? What is a secret in general. I decided to do some research:
Dictionary.com defines a secret as:

se·cret

  
1.
done, made, or conducted without the knowledge of others:secret negotiations.
2.
kept from the knowledge of any but the initiated orprivileged: a secret password.
3.
faithful or cautious in keeping confidential mattersconfidential; close-mouthed; reticent.

Urban Dictionary defines a secret as:
secret

Something you're not supposed to tell anyone, but somehow gets out regardless of who told who.

So formally a secret is kept. But in society today secrets are told, they get out, and they ruin the lives of the teller. Why bother with secrets anyway is they are just going to get out?
