What Secrets Tell

Secrets are most of the time used to hide information from someone that could be detrimental to someone. Sometimes it is to cause emotional harm and ridicule. Then there are secrets that are used for pure joy and excitement. We all have many secrets whether it is to surprise someone or gossip that has been given through gossip or slander. The essay “In the Early Morning Rain” by Jennifer Boylan, she has had a secret that led her to have life-changing thoughts that ultimately led her to fully accept who she was. If it was not for her accepting who she was as a transgender female and not allowing her feelings to overpower her, this essay would probably not exist. If I was to rewrite her essay, I would write about how to deal with secrets that someone may have. In my writing my main points would include but is not limited to, how to combat a secret, seeking help from someone that can be trusted and could help with that secret, and finally, embrace the feeling of being free from that secret.

People may say that those deep, dark secrets we all try to keep hidden are just thoughts and have nothing

They hold all of our thoughts that we don’t want to reveal to anyone else, and also they hold really personal things between you and other people. They shouldn’t be broken, but when they are you can easily face the consequences. I selected this because secrets can hold fears, and this is a great example of it. No one could know you have a fear, and that is your secret. My reaction to this quote is that the world “also” means with someone else. This shares a connection with another person, and this is when a relationship bond starts to form. I thought this was important to note because even though it seems so simple it holds a lot of meaning to it. A few words could actually be a whole essay depending on what point you’re trying to prove. Secrets are hard to uncover, unless you can’t keep them. Other than that, this short and simple quote has a huge meaning to

Secret is defined as something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others. If that is true, why do we tell others our secrets? No one's secrets are truly theirs, at some point anxiety will build up, information accidentally comes out, or you may just tell someone. Your confidentialities are not always yours, at a young age kids tell their parents everything. As those kids grow up, and become teens they start to develop barriers between their parents. Not telling them whatever is going on, at school or at practice can only last so long. This is hardly the case, because everyone has told their friend or parent something that was meant to be classified. For example, if one player on the basketball team knows a secret about another player, the whole team knows. That is due to the fact that we are a family and don’t care what we think of each other, because we are one. Trustworthiness is hard to prove, confidence is needed to tell someone a secret. If the friend is not trustworthy then that secret could be floating around school completely changed from its original stature. A secret is only a true secret if it is kept with only yourself. Just as honesty is evident in life so it is in literature. In William Shakespeare’s famous love story, “ Romeo and Juliet” and in life, withholding secrets is the

The realizations I have on self disclosure is that, it is one way of letting my self go. Letting another human being know my inner most feelings and my fears. I am a very private person and I tend to not say much about myself unless I know the person very well. I tend to not to like people who disclose a lot of information to me mainly if we do not have a very close relationship, because to me that means I also have to let them in on some of my inner most feelings. I feel like even if they are a lot of advantages to self-

Also with keeping a happy marriage managing how and when would be the appropriate time and to what level of self-disclosure. We all have secrets in our closets after your married you should feel more comfortable with self-disclosure. Although Orbach who

Others may say, secrets must be kept because they can hurt people. In an article by Irene Van, says that you can keep secrets about family and friends. Irene Van says, “ Gossip about family or friends unless this is about something that worries you, in / which case you should tell a adult you trust” (Van.II). This proves that, Irene Van believes that secrets about family and friends should be kept because it can really hurt your friends feelings. Second, this could be true because if I tell my friend one of my secrets, I trust this person. If he or she is going to go and tell my secret to someone, I am not going to tell he/she any secrets. However, on the other hand, in the same article Irene Van says that any kind of touch should not be kept as a secret. Irene Van says, “ Secrets that are not safe to keep:/ Any kind of touch” (Van.II). First, I would tell my parents if this happens to me because if I tell this secret to my friends, and they spread it, it would hurt me. Second, this can lead to more problems if I kept this as a secret from my parents because, the same thing will continue if I don’t take

In life everyone has a secret, have you ever kept a secret you wanted to tell but couldn’t? In the novel Marino Mission, we meet Alexa who is a shy girl who becomes more open to the world when she meets a boy that catches her attention named Jose. Alexa and Jose goes on a “clandestine” mission to find Pecas (a dolphin character that is also in the book) baby. The mission does not exudes secrecy because two other character in the novel knows about the mission that they’re on and her mother will suspect that she up to something and her secret will eventually get under her skin.

Keeping secrets is just like lying because it is still dishonest. Bilbo the main character in J.R.R Tolkien's “the Hobbit” refrained from seeing this. He had happened to stumble upon a peculiar ring in the heart of a mountain full of goblins which helped him escape. Consequently, he failed to report this to his fellow adventurers. Therefore Bilbo may have kept this to himself because the ring has a magical influence on him just as it had on Gollum. If Bilbo would have broken its control over him and told Gandalf, the ring probably would have been a better asset to the group and later events could be

In the magazine, I read “Unlocking the Vault” an article by Carlin Flora. She depicts that people are hiding secrets from others and most of all, themselves. Not all secrets are necessarily bad things such as cheating, but could be information that the person can use as leverage. We keep secrets because of shame and to avoid hurting others. Keeping secrets can be a destructive act towards not only you, but of others as well. I believe this article definitely appeals to all modes of persuasion because it is something that everyone has or will deal with some time in their lives. With ethos, people will look over their values. Some will keep their secret from others because they value the relationship with those group or people. Then you have

While essential secrets focus on creating boundaries and protecting others, toxic secrets tend to do almost the complete opposite. Toxic secrets are usually kept from those that have a right to know or should be informed of the secret. This, in turn, causes a lot of disruption and tension in certain relationships. There are several different reasons why people choose to keep toxic secrets from their family members, friends, coworkers, and others in the outside world. Most of the time people feel as though the benefits of keeping their toxic secret hidden from another will outweigh the costs of not doing so. The reason for this is that most toxic secrets include sensitive topics ranging from donor assistance and adoption to homosexuality.

Secrets are a strange thing, everyone has them yet no one talks about them. This is the idea that filmmaker Egmont Mayer explores in the short film, “Red Rabbit.” In this film we learn that keeping secrets can be extremely difficult, and that doing so can require a lot of work.

In itself, secrets aren’t bad or good, yet they have the power to be. Sometimes secrets and trust can coincide and other times secrecy can be coupled with deceit. They can be for the better or for the worse. We truly can’t predict these kinds of things. The word secret is defined as “something that

It was one of those secrets that even the slightest mention of made you want to start screaming in pain that came from the deepest parts of the soul; or go to
