What is the bittersweet truth? Exactly how true is the whole truth? Wikipedia describes it as this: The word truth has a variety of meanings, from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general. The truth behind “little white lies” is that they only cover up the bigger ones. As time progresses, the compilation of little lies becomes one big lie, nevertheless making you one big fat liar. By the time you know it your head becomes very cloudy and you can’t seem to make sense out of anything. You soon forget how the lie even started and eventually your life becomes a huge mess.
There are so many days that I have to look and reflect on where I’ve been. I’ve made some pretty wrong choices before, choices that have cost me everything. I believe it is hard being transparent especially to your peers and loved ones. Being transparent, the truth caught up to me. It revealed itself in its ugliest form at the most imperfect time. I found that being honest to myself about the truth was not easy but the reconciliation was great. Hidden emotions are only bombs waiting to explode. Honesty is only evidence of progress. If you plan to progress, tell yourself the truth and let go. Do not waste your time and energy on losing your mind but walk in truth in everything you do. Ultimately, it will set you free.
