Secrets have the biggest grip hold on our decisions. You can say "don't live with regret" and claim to have nothing to hide... but it takes *so* much to 100% come clean, and lay it all out there. Even when we feel like we are wide open, and there is everything on the table to be examined and explored - there is always something more that comes with time. Something that, even if we don't realize, is hiding in the depths of our minds and refuses to budge. There are plenty of "secrets" that people are scared to share... like picking your nose, or enjoying your toes being licked. There are always preferences we have that others will think are weird, and so we turn them into secrets. There will always be ideas we have that we assume others would think are strange, so we turn them into secrets. We all have something to hide, even if we pretend that we don't. The scary part is eventually it will catch up with you - and it will become a part of you, overtake your sanity until it eventually bubbles up to the point where you have to spill your guts. I think what actually scares us is finding the people we want to spill too - and know where and when to say what we need to. Searching out someone who will reserve judgment, and take your "secret" in without criticism or neglect. In the end, that's our mission right? We're all searching for a soul mate, a life partner, a lover, a friend - who will know everything, and love and accept you for all that you are... nose picking & toe licking included. Maybe that's what we mean when we say we are looking for "the one" .. we're just searching for the person who we can tell all of our truths, and all of our lies - and be appreciated for them. Just a thought.
