A secret someone trusted you with isn’t content. Keep it off your tongue and out of your drafts.

Something told to you in confidence arrives with a condition attached, whether or not anyone said it out loud. Turning it into a story that makes you interesting spends another person’s privacy to buy your own social credit. Drafts count too, since a screenshot only has to exist once in order to travel. The moment it leaves you, where it stops is no longer yours to decide.

If you are carrying something heavy and need to talk, go to someone with no connection to the situation. Describe the shape of it without the names.
