The things people say...

Before I start, some clarification: these thoughts weren't sparked from one conversation with one person, nor did they come from the conversations in the past 24 hours, but honestly:

why do people say the things they say?

We live in an interesting world where, although we may feel otherwise, we do trust a lot of what people say. Think about every judgment you've ever made about someone, and regardless of if that judgment was right or wrong, you thought something about someone and probably never told them. It's interesting to think about all the things that people aren't telling you. In relationships, or friendships, or everyday interactions. It's very easy to act like you like someone, and unfortunately for the person who is disliked, they will never know. The trust is still there though. We trust that people are telling us EVERYTHING, where it takes deep conversations to even touch on all the things they have been thinking that weren't ever brought up. New relationships are like that, in a fun way, but that secrecy still exists. It sometimes takes months to hear about what was going through the other person’s head that first night you sat next to each other, or anything else equally as corny.

So the point...we trust so much of what people say and everyone has so many secrets.

This isn't some pessimistic rant about people lying to me or anything close to that, but it's just interesting because the more you get to know someone, the more secrets you find out. Like how so-and-so liked you when they first met you, or so-and-so was so nervous on your first date. It's a truly wonderful thing when you have a conversation where all those lovely secrets come flying out.

and that's that
