juicy secret

A secret: a few words with such great power. You can imagine the traumatic emotional fallout triggered just by opening your mouth. We share secrets to show our trust and seal bonds with the people we care about. We give the other person the means to hurt us later while getting the means to hurt them. In that process, we can feel better that we aren't as crazy as we might have thought and we can feel assured that this friendship/relationship cannot easily dissapear.

Someone left me a secret, and I have kept it hidden away. After fights and the trauma she caused me, I could have unleashed it, yet I didn't. We aren't friends anymore, and now I wish she had never had told me it. I have a way to hurt her, but I have no reason to. I wish I could forget it, but I can't imagine why she gave me that possibility in the first place. Maybe she knew I would never tell anyone. Well, I never have, and never will.
