He knows all my secrets

What do I do?

He knows all my secrets.

I told him because I trusted him.

Then I didn’t trust him any longer-because he broke my confidentiality-but by then he said he wrote it all down and gave it to his friend for safe keeping.

He always said I was safe – so why did he write it down and give it to someone for safekeeping?

I asked for it back and he said he was just kidding. He didn’t write it all down.

Which is the truth? Did he write it down or was he lying-and why?

I gave him all the names!

What do I do?

Maybe he was just being manipulative so I should leave it alone. Forget about it.

Or do I keep in contact with him so I don’t have to worry he’ll try to tell my story to whomever he likes. Keep em’ close!

How long is he required to keep my secrets?

How much do we tell when we try to trust? Can we share too much?

Trust is a funny thing and was often held hostage with strings attached.

Reflections of the many lessons on the trail of the messy healing journey.

Incorporating whats helpful, and discarding the rest. Lessons of teachers who come in and out of our lives. Grateful for them all-and wiser by experience.

And I guarantee that no one will learn all my secrets again!
