Is It Worth It?

Where does telling someone something go from simply telling someone something to gossiping? When it turns into a conversation not about yourself? When opinions and speculations are added to the facts? When does it become backstabbing? When you start telling more than you were technically supposed to? Do technicalities count when it comes to friends? Does friend closeness come into play when you are determining whether you can tell someone something or not? Are you required to put yourself in the shoes of the one who's secret you are blowing? Is it okay to assume that since they told you and told you not to tell that you can tell someone else as long as they don't tell? What if you ARE the one who originally told the secret? Who do you get mad at? The one who is first in line? Are you at right to be angry with everyone else who knows? Is it your own fault for trusting someone with your business that had no business knowing your business? Is it wrong to trust this person with another secret? Or is it wrong not to give them a second chance? When do second chances end? After all, three times a charm, why do people only get two chances? Is it right to expect a second chance? It is okay to be upset if you aren't given one? Or is it what you deserve? Does it depend on the severity of the reason your first chance was ruined?

Is doing the easier thing sometimes better than doing the right thing when it comes to your own personal life? What if you have a friend who you know talks about you behind your back and you know don't treat you the way you should? What if deep down you know you should confront them but you also want to be their friend? Or are you just afraid of the conflict that could arise with the confrontation? Is this putting the simpler things before your own self worth? Is that something that you should be compromised? Shouldn't you be doing everything to preserve your self worth and making sure you don't lose sight of it? Or is this and instance where you have to remind yourself that it isn't all about you? Is it about you though? Are you responsible for protecting yourself? Can you expect anyone else to? Would you want them to if they could? Or would you think they were just getting too involved in your life. In the end you are responsible for yourself right? No prince charming is going to come protect you right? What if your prince charming is the one who puts you down? Is this something that can be fixed? Are they really your prince charming? Are they worth it?

Is that always the end question? Are they worth it? Is that worth it? Is it worth telling my friend this secret if it ends up getting me in trouble with another friend? Is it worth staying this person's friend even though I know when I turn around they are my worst enemy? Is it worth holding onto even though I know in any moment It could fall apart? Is it really truly worth it?
