I am writing this post while I'm under the influence of four sugary donuts.
I'm watching smallville all over again. The story is simple - Clark Kent is keeping his abilities as a secret - and it's amazing how it happens too. Someone gets knocked out ALWAYS. If the injuries in this series are up to scale with reality, Lana, Lex and Chloe must've gotten some kind of permanent brain damage due to the number of concussions sustained during the series.
All stories nowadays have one thing in common - Secrets. Something is always kept from someone, something is always bound to be discovered. Eventually someone gets hurt, either physically or emotionally- it doesn't matter. The people who developed these stories must have realized that people cannot live without secrets. Secrets are made and discovered every painstaking hour of our lives, and it's only the big ones that really count... Like, let's say, Love Secrets.
Romantic love is always a secret at first. It is kept like it's something precious. Guarded and sealed. Then somebody bends... Somebody admits their feelings. Thus, a secret is revealed. A gift is given. But people always have a way of complicating things. Other factors such as friendship, compatibility and convenience will always get in the way of revealing love. Compatibility and convenience is pretty much self-explanatory. So let's just discuss the dilemma of friendship.
There are reasons why people choose to keep love as a secret. People tend to overestimate the future. We underestimate trust and friendship. The thing is, when you are in love (or when you think you are in love) you will always be caught up in a dilemma where a part of you wants to do this thing for the one you love, and a part of you is scared because the one you love might find out about your secret. And as far as the trend goes, there is a good reason to be scared. because for some odd reason, the person being loved is also scared of being loved.
This strikes me the most. Why do people feel awkward if they feel that someone is "loving" them but that someone still opts to keep it as a secret? Love is already present. There is no way to undo it. Isn't it unfair that those who keep love as a secret ends up as the one who is left behind? I mean, didn't these people weigh friendship over their own feelings and by doing so excludes them from the benefits of being loved? Some people are immature enough to despise them for doing so.
Personally, I think that it's best not to confess love, but to just... express it. Make the person you love feel loved and scratch that itch that compels you to admit it. Express love every chance that you get. For when the time comes, the person you love won't ask you if you love them.... Because they already know.
