Exposure

Secret?

Sure, I know what those are. Everyone has them so why are they so special? I mean, usually if everyone has something it can’t be so valued, right? Yet here we are.

By definition, a secret is something not seen or known or meant to be seen or known by others. So, why would I tell you mine?

Maybe you’re curious. I can understand that. Typically people get curious about things they’re not meant to know. It’s like a big red button with a sign above saying “do not push”... You obviously want to rebel and push it don’t you?

I am not sure if we all have a little rebel in us or curiosity or whatever you want to call it but sometimes reaching the end goal can be underwhelming.

The thrill comes during the unknown. The moments leading up to the finale. The climax if you will.
