Everyone needs someone
to tell
their secrets to.
If you’re that someone,
you are in a powerful position.
You can’t
tell anyone else
those secrets
If you do that,
no one will ever tell you
their secrets again.
But the secrets
can often benefit you.
You have insider information
no one else has.
Better than that,
however,
you have that person’s trust.
Be a secret holder.
I watched a horror movie
yesterday.
I don’t like horror movies.
At all.
But I told a loved one
if he couldn’t find anyone else
to watch it with him,
I’d go with him.
He couldn’t find anyone else
to watch it with him.
I went with him.
Because I gave him my word
and if I ‘changed my mind’,
he’d rightly know
my word was worthless.
I value his trust.
I watched the horror movie
(with my eyes partially covered
the entire time).
If you break your word,
your vows or your promises,
you also break trust.
FOREVER.
Remember that.
