Damned if you don't.
We all keep secrets. We all tell lies.
Secrets are one irony you'll never get. To keep them, we tell lies. We refuse to let anyone near to protect our secrets. We sometimes push and shove to do that. We sometimes withdraw from the world. Governments kill people to keep secrets, ironic because the secrets they keep could kill people if they were out.
We may have the noblest of reasons for keeping secrets. We may have the best intentions for telling lies. Most times we believe it to be for the best.
The irony is that the one noble thing we wanted to achieve, that is to protect people we love from the pain of knowing, is the one thing that hurt them most. Because for that person, more than the pain of finding out is the agony of knowing that you kept them out.

I guess the question is where do you draw the line between sharing and keeping a little for yourself. If not everything can be shared, how do you know which ones to keep and which to share? :)
Hey Joey, I guess you're right. Not everything should be shared, in the same way that not all secrets are meant to be kept forever.
Deciding how much to say and when to say is the hard part, I think...depends on the comfort level...
Thanks for reading, hope to hang out with you guys again soon...
