Cheryl strayed prompt 11

 The secrets that have been kept from me are usually family secrets and what my friends have been going through. My friends seem to not to want to share that it's rough for them. One has a daughter the other lost his family member. I learned this from their family members which makes it harder for me to say anything to them. I don't know if they wanted it to be kept a secret and not be bothered. I realized though that sometimes the best thing we can do is respect a person’s right to keep things private and not say anything about it.
