the o'jays
some of the ties that bind us to our friends are our shared secrets and insider jokes; episodes or incidents that we have experienced with each other. knowing we have these in common makes us feel close and give us a sense of belonging.
sometimes when someone feels lonely, they may believe they are alone. this feeling of isolation can incite insecurity. often when we feel insecure, we are desperate to claw our way back to feeling welcome and loved. what better way than to share a secret...reveal something juicy...encourage interest and maybe even admiration from those around us. a tidbit of gossip sometimes seems like an easy ticket to the party.
the problem is that gossip is a cheap way to gain entré and more often than not it is an illusory one. friends bound by gossip and malice are not genuine or true. tables turn and power changes hands. don't be surprised if the knife in your back once belonged to you...
