For me, the concept of loving someone secretly is complex. It can be filled with inner turmoil and longing, as well as a deep connection to someone? While it may protect one's feelings from potential rejection, it can also be challenging because it lacks the open communication and mutual understanding that often characterize healthy relationships. Ultimately, whether it's the right choice depends on individual circumstances and the willingness to eventually reveal those feelings or find a more fulfilling path forward. ;)
