15 Reasons Why Your Cousin Is Your Best Secret Keeper

We don’t know how many but you have cousins for sure. Either from your mother’s or father’s side. They are closer to you than any other friend at certain points of your life and know how to keep a secret well. Mainly this starts with hiding the truth about a broken vase or plate and evolves into something much greater! If you are almost at the same age, you two become best friends in the long run, too!

1. You’ve been together since your childhood and you know each other very well. You have a shared history.

2. You know there are still things you can’t say to your parents but told your cousin years ago. They still remain secret don’t they?
