grown to love secrecy

I have grown to love secrecy.
It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life
mysterious or marvellous to us.

The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.

When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going.
If I did, I would lose all my pleasure.

It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring
a great deal of romance into one’s life.

Some secrecy is definitely needed!

This is very poignant to today's lifestyle, considering through all the mediums we are now accessible, it's almost impossible to go anywhere without someone knowing where you are or what you're doing.

Love it - I think I am too transparent, I need more secrecy in my life.
