We need to know our feelings are private.
We reveal them at our choosing, with whom we choose.
We give up on mind reading or probing because it intrudes upon another's privacy.
We actively engage in our relationships by sharing ourselves and listening to each other.
A secret that makes a relationship dishonest is destructive and ought to be told.
But we cannot force another person to be honest, or pry the truth from a loved one.
We can only be honest ourselves and guard our own right to privacy.
Intimacy is the bridge, which is built between two separate people.
Only when we let others have their privacy and we take ours can our relationships be more intimate.
I will maintain the boundaries of my privacy today and respect the right of others to do the same.

oh I wish I'd learnt this one years ago
but I didn't
so I'll learn it now
thank for the lesson, fairies
I give up my privacy to get someone's attention. I guess I could ask for it directly instead of saying something and hoping for a response.
On the other hand, it's none of my business.
Peace.
I'm not sure I follow this one. But anyway, I have no problem keeping my own privacy or respecting others'. At least, I don't think I have.
