I talk to my pets--told him some of my worst secrets, some things that were bothering me, things that were worrying me. He knows all of that now. Thing is, I know that he knows it, and he may know what I was thinking then...but he doesn't know what I'm thinking now. He may know what can hurt me, but it doesn't mean I have to let him. Jsut 'cause someone knows what you were thinking or doing doesn't mean they control you somewhere. Just means they're nosy."
