Hello dementedbeauty: I have held many secrets over the course of many years. If I don't have some secrets tucked in my hip pocket, I feel sort-of like something's missing. I still have my secrets & have no intention of divulging any of them to anyone. There is a song by The Weepies that I take sort-of as a theme song: "Nobody Knows Me at All". It's true... nobody does.
On the other hand, there is one big secret I did divulge. I thought it was a bombshell. But when I set it off... nothing happened... nothing... except that now the tiny number of people know me (I'm pretty-much reclusive) know my big secret. And I, for my part, know that they know. As a result, I feel exposed & foolish.
So I'm not going to encourage you to divulge your secret. But I can tell you, based on many years of experience that carrying around secrets is wearing. They get heavier & heavier the longer you drag them around. I send you warm wishes to buoy you as you struggle to manage your secret.
