I feel like I must stress that I really wasn’t judging you for not telling 🙂 It was just an observation mostly based on the type of words you used (“come clean”) and the explanations. Keeping things hidden for what ever reason can start to weigh on a person over time. It’s not just about keeping things hidden from other people, but yourself as well. If you can be unapologetically yourself, then there’s no room for second guessing anymore about whether or not you should’ve done things differently.
