Have you ever written something down just to get it out of your system? Have you ever finished and thought maybe you should show someone? I have. Have you ever written something that you never really intended to show anyone but you wish they would find out anyway? I have. The truth is a tricky thing sometimes. Honesty is not always that simple. Or maybe it is. Transparency terrifies me. To leave yourself exposed. To face the truth in all its piercing details and have no chance of escape but must face whatever repercussions occur.
Its odd sometimes how much the truth scares people. Scares them enough to steal, cheat, embezzle, lie, mug, murder. The truth has power and that power scares people.
But for something as non-life threatening as this, you would think the truth would be easy. But it isn't. I don't know what i am going to do.
I've heard someone say it is never bad to tell someone how you feel, but i don't know if i agree with him.

Sounds like you're really fighting yourself here. Perhaps it is never bad to tell someone how you feel, but is it never good? Can no relief come from getting whatever it is off of your chest? Or do you think you can bear the weight of the truth alone for years?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
good point, i just have to decide whether the weight of the truth is more than the weight of the fallout.
