The skeletons in the closet

I find this expression very very weird. I cannot but think how one came up with it. I mean it’s not really a usual thing to come across a skeleton in someone’s closet. I can only imagine that at some point someone, literally, discovered a skeleton in a closet. Probably blackmail followed. Probably trials. I have no idea! Even so, now, we have this expression and it is not literally anymore. At least not in all the cases. So, I now arrived to the point where I wanted to get in the first place. We all have skeletons in our closet. It’s inevitable. Of course, the different standards we each have prevent us from having the same skeletons in our closets. If for many a skeleton in a closet means maybe an affair or a theft or maybe a hit and run, for others is worse like a crime or God knows what. But you know, lies can be skeletons in the closet too. So, I think that we can conclude that for each and every one of us the skeletons in the closet are those things that, if found out, will embarrass us. The things that we need to keep hidden from anyone – even from family or close friends. The things we barely admit for ourselves. It’s the one thing that makes us shiver every time we think it might come out. It’s the thing that doesn’t make us proud, the thing that keeps us captive in an invisible prison. Unfortunately, we all have them. But there is this thing. No matter how hard we try to clean the rest of the house. No matter how hard we want it to seem perfectly right, we cannot get rid of that smell. That smell coming through the closed doors of the closet hiding the horrible skeleton. My opinion is that the sooner we get rid o it the better. If a while passes then we get used to the smell and it’s not a problem for us anymore. When friends come over we spray some room deodorant and we think that everything it’s perfect. It’s not nice to clean a closet full of skeletons. It’s hard work and the most important is that you cannot do that without anyone seeing. Even if you are cleaning it at night, you still have to get rid of it. And believe me – just burring it is as bad as keeping it in the closet with the one difference: you got rid of the SMELL!
