Secret

Will you listen to my story? What if I asked you not to tell? Could you promise me your silence? Could you promise me no one in the world would ever know? I didn’t think so, I would be a fool to believe in the fairy tale of perfection. You are only human my dear, it’s not your fault. So you will never know. Sshh… your secret is safe with me.

I need to teach my students at school this line and to NOT share the stories they do not want re-told. Well done. Sound advice my friend. "I didn’t think so, I would be a fool to believe in the fairy tale of perfection."
