Well, I know how to keep secrets, but sharing a secret brings a huge relief. I’m gonna tell you about a time when I shared my secret with my mother. It was about 2 or 3 years ago when I was still studying at university. At that time I wanted to buy a special dress for my sister’s 15th birthday. I asked some tips from my mother since she knew most what my sister loved most. And she gave me some creative ideas for my surprise. I felt a genuine sense of relief at that time, since I shared my secret with truly trustworthy and reliable person. And I think it’s natural to share my secret with my mother because she is the one person who can support me anytime. And I do believe that relying on family members is the best way to keep your information, your secrets safe. Since they are trustworthy and they can keep your secrets safe. But in my opinion, if people believe too much to others and tell them everything about their secrets, their life, it can result in negative consequences and they can end up getting hurt.
