Secrets...

I wasn't aware that anyone had any these days... Of course I'm referring to the whole "There was a boy named Matthew" thing... I thought everyone knew about that ongoing episode, but I was wrong... I know these people though, so I guess I should not have been surprised. 'Sweep everything under the rug, wait a bit, and all will be well' was and is I guess the mentality, but that was then, this is now... That is no longer the case...

Boyd's sister called me today and we had a long talk, she said she had talked to him and was talking about me, yet he never indicated that anything was wrong. She however told me that she could tell that something was amiss... I told her the entire story in detail. Why do people want to pretend that there is nothing wrong when there is? That's my question. It's ludicrous.

I was just talking to my stepson Cory about this same thing. We were talking about how people hold grudges, have hatred, etc... I told him my philosophy. My mentality is this, never go to bed with hatred, grudges, etc on your mind. It will destroy your life. Say what you have to say, no matter what it is, then get on with your life. I haven't always taken that approach, but the times I didn't, it caused issues. These days, that is the only approach I take. I say what's on my mind, if you don't like it, I don't care. I think everyone should take that approach...

I do hope that those people get over the whole "If we just don't talk about it for a few months, everyone will forget it mentality"... That was then, this is now...
