The roots of a secret are probably the stigma, shame,
sorrow and anxiety that circles around whatever we are trying to hide.
We carry these parts of ourselves gently in our arms to feel more secure.
Yet at the same time we hold ourselves back and distance those feelings which results in secrets.
These thoughts and reflections holds ourselves back
and possess much more power over us than we do over them.
