# ESSAY.

Secrets are neccessary.

It keeps people out, somehow.

Sometimes, secrets are wonderful.
Most of the times, they are not.
Very few secrets have been wonderful.
Some are funny.
Some are silly.
Some are hurtful.
Some are deadly.
Some are necessary.
Some are evil.

People have always loved secrets, but under some very particular conditions.
More on this later.

You is the user and you.
And me.
The wording is we.

How to keep a secret.
When to keep a secret.
How to tell a secret.
When to tell a secret.
When never to tell a secret.

Separate documents.
They are not one document.

Record that a secret exists.
Do not record the secret.

The whole of us is in it.
Our signature.
Just not our data.

The insides stay insides.
Do not tell their secret so you look better.

I'll tell you later.
It's a super funny joke.
The whole world will laugh.
It's our second biggest secret.

The first is not on this paper.
Not until the world is ready.
They'll let me know, not the other way around.

There are secrets which are mine,
which I will never utter.

The moment we make it real, we own it.
What we do not make real stays between us.
