When it come to things you don’t want to hear, the truth is going to hurt. It may even bring you to your knees. But you will heal faster than being confused and finding yourself crying on a cold floor at 3 am.

 

As an adult, I’ve realized just how much I appreciate honesty. This could be because my past was riddled with life-changing lies or because I’ve become so frustrated with being confused when all I need is the truth.

 

This is especially true when it comes to relationships or potential ones. Starting a relationship with a lie is not healthy and not being honest with your feelings isn’t healthy either.

 

I know the truth is hard. Sometimes it really sucks. I know that it is easier to “ghost” someone then tell them “hey, I think you’re great but I’m not really feeling the romantic connection.” I get it. You don’t ever want to intentionally hurt someone.

 

But think of it this way.
