Revealing Your Secrets To The Trees

July 11th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Motivation

I love this quotation because it reminds me whose fault it is if my secrets are revealed. It’s mine for telling them in the first place.

I try to live my life without secrets. So much of my life is online and available for the world to know that I forget that the people in my life don’t read all of my weblogs. My mom doesn’t even read my personal weblog. Things that I have revealed and opened up freely are just there floating in the wind, but have stopped being revealed to the people closest to me.

I’m waiting for that day when they find it all. I’m not hiding, but I think that my friends and family don’t quite realize how much they could find out about me if they just read my weblogs. I know I write about a lot of insignificant things, but those are the things that are floating around in my head. Anyone who wanted to know about me could find them out.

Kahlil Gibran doesn’t have a corollary to that quotation, but if I were to create one it would be:

If you live your life without secrets, the wind will become bored of you and even the trees will stop listening.
