Individuals have different mindsets about this topic, and sharing secrets is important for some, while others believe that sharing secrets is the worst thing in the world. If you trust your pen friend or friends, you can share easily, but if you don't trust anyone, you can't share your secrets. I used to have a pen friend; her name is Alice, and we shared all our secrets together. I told her all my secrets and feelings, but when we fought, she shared all my secrets with others. From that moment, I never trusted anyone again. For me, sharing secrets is important, so I decided to share all of my secrets with my mother because mothers don’t tell anyone your secrets. I shared my secrets with my pen friend, and we are still talking these days, but I feel really upset with her. When I’m feeling down, I always share my secrets with my mom. She is the only one who understands my feelings and every secret. She gives me advice when I’m feeling low, and she always says that trust is important when sharing secrets with someone.
