Truths

In the last few months, I had the weirdest conversations that one can only imagine.

I always used to say that I’m a very honest person who says what she thinks. But I came to realize how hard that really can be. How refreshing, but also scary.

The truth leaves you out in the open without the usual cover of masks and lies. It gives bad people opportunity to hurt you, and good people reason to appreciate and love you even more. And it’s so damn difficult to tell the bad from the good apart. No matter how good you think you know a person, it doesn’t guarantee you that you actually do know this person as good as you think.

But I learned that no matter how hard it is to put yourself out in the open, it’s always better than hiding behind lies, half-truths and irony…

The good times and the bad times both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will.
