When my crush rejected me in high school I was pretty down so I sat in complete silence in my room, my mom passed by and asked what happened, I told her and ask her to please keep it between us, 10 minutes later I receive a call from my aunt who lived in the next city, telling me to cheer up… That was my cue to never, ever tell something personal to my mom. That was 24 years ago and I still stand by it
