the truth will set you free

---

For many years, I had been delusional both towards myself and others. I was so caught up in my own world; justifying everything I did even though I knew my habits were wrong, and they weren’t getting me anywhere in life. I hated everyone who dared attack my way of living.

After years of self-reflection and bad experiences, I decided I had enough of my bullshit. Honestly, I was lucky enough to walk out of those experiences undamaged. I could’ve ended up in a bad place. For some reason, God has always been helping me and reminding me of my worth. 

I’ve come to full circle with honesty. Being honest is easier than lying. TBH, how difficult is lying? Every time you have to stand behind a lie, your details will change, while immediately telling the truth will make everything a lot easier — since your answer always remains the same, and you don’t have to remember it. 

I’ve confronted many people, about my genuine opinions. They are fine with it. My mind is at ease after the truth has been revealed. I realized that being honest takes more character than lying ever will. On another note, people will think you are a mystery because they wonder why you behave or speak with no filter. It is true that a lot of people might leave you. But know that they are the wrong people. You have no room for them in your busy life. Let them be because those who stayed will always know exactly where they stand with you.
