Have you ever heard of a drama played out on an online blog? I first heard of this online drama last month when I was invited to the sneak preview of Not So Secret Lives: Crossroads. So, what is this all about?
Not So Secret Lives (NSSL) tells the story of 2 youths Trey and Jesse and the friends around them as they come to grips with the growing role sexuality plays in their lives. What sets this story apart is the fact that it is told through a series of blog entries by the 2 main characters.
Not So Secret Lives: Crossroads is a continuation of season 1 which sees our protagonists, Trey and Jesse, thrust into the mix themselves. A seemingly routine boys’ night out for Trey leads to a downward spiral of his relationship with Jesse. This season, the characters explore how harmless fun can lead to harmful consequences.
So here goes, Trey went partying and ended up in the motel. I won’t divulge what he has done so check out their blog on http://notsosecretlives.com to find out. In my opinion, Trey have made a mistake but what’s done is done. He should be focusing on fixing and solving the problem. If you really love someone, there’s no secrets. Speaking from the perspective of a female, I think she would feel more hurt if she finds out what happen from anyone other than Trey. He should definitely be honest to Jesse and tell her about it (and it’s a good thing he did).
The incident has form a crack in their relationship and has Trey doubting his own health condition. It’s no joke when it comes to issues like HIV, not to mention the huge amount of emotional stress that comes with it. It will affect him for his entire life. His actions and its consequences are irreversible. Is it worth it to exchange a night of fun for countless amount of stress and problems in the future? I really don’t know whether Jesse will forgive Trey for what he has done. I’m pretty sure it takes a lot for a person to trust someone again.
One advice to all the guys out there including Trey, know your limits! If you can’t drink, don’t. It just take a little more self control to avoid making such a serious mistake. So think twice!
