Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Dick Wolf. Sad, but true.
Secrets are empowering and debilitating all at once. Empowering because they give you control – and protection. Protection from pain, because people can't hurt you if you don't give them the ammunition, so if you don't, you'll be forever safe. But safety is a relative term. For me, safety means lack of harm, just like happy means lack of sad and good means lack of bad. And then, if you don't let them close enough to hurt you, you're not letting them close enough to help you either.
Sometimes you have to risk a little pain for a great potential gain.
Just out of curiosity, whose point of view do you think this is from? (Yes, I know, I was just wondering if it was clear.) Review if you enjoyed my little drabble!
