In the spirit of being generous let us talk about the negative effects of concealing secrets. Whether it be lying about the state of your mental health or lying about your battery percentage research shows that there are harmful personal effects from just thinking about these secrets.

I am sure that we have all felt guilt before, studies have shown that when we keep secrets we often ruminate on these thoughts and feel guilt about them which can lead to feelings of helplessness and despair. Keeping secrets also affects you physically as it raises your stress hormones, increases your blood pressure, creates sleep issues, and causes various addictions.

It is time to unburden yourself of that secret! YES! I am talking to you!!!

What is that thing you're afraid of people finding out? What are your mental health struggles? Do you know that keeping your struggles inward only exuberates them?

Until reveal day, you know you love me.
