Honesty

I’ve spent my life hiding, to protect people and to protect myself. I would lie and, I would fib, not out of malicious intent, but for comfort. But I have grown sick and tired of keeping up some charade for the happiness of those around me. I realized I need to start putting myself first. I’ve begun being blunt and honest with people, I let out my true feelings-whether it’s something as simple as where I want to go out to eat, or something more intense like being open about feeling neglected and taken advantage of in friendships and relationships.

Although lying and putting up a front can bring some comfort, I think I enjoy the discomfort of honesty much more.

I am free.
