What If...

I know something about you that you thought I would never know? The best part is you'll never get to find out because I intend to keep it hush hush. Because spilling it out won't do us both good.

Who invented the word - Secret?

Well, ignorance is bliss (ya right).
Was on my ipod yesterday and as this particular song played to my ears, I cringed. Flashes of the first time I heard the song still remained etched in my memory. It sucks even more now because I replayed it so many times that subconciously, I actually memorized the lyrics. And singing the song led on to remembering the meaning behind and the impact on the emotional department.

The more you tell yourself you don't want to know, the urge to know just keeps growing and growing. And when you finally succumb to the inevitable human trait of pure curiosity, that's when your brain tells you how stupid you can get. Sure enough, sometimes, less is more. Easier said than done though. We are all guilty of knowing things we ought not to know; too much, too often. Guess the only way, is to deal with how should you react after knowing and not just psycho yourself in totally avoiding it. Because, damn b*tch, you know deep down you are dying to know.

Afterall, it's human nature to engage in subtle voyeurism.
