Too True

Truthfully it was tough to think of a T word. (Hard to believe with all those Ts there, huh?)

When I think of T, true/truth/truthful comes to mind. I'm horrible at lying. I don't like it, I feel bad about it when I do. I'm the kind of person who has been lied to enough in my life that nothing can hurt more than a lie.

Speaking truth is really easier. It's something that can't come back around to bite you in the ass later. If you're honest, there's no made up story (or stories) you have to keep straight. I'm even horrible about those 'little white lies'. I'd rather just not do it.

Truth can be painful, it can cause irreversible pain. But not the way a lie can. It's because truth is immediate. It's like ripping off a bandaide. You think you want it slow and easy, but you know damn good and well if you rip that sucker off, it'll be so much better.

If you're a person who can/does lie, you know. You know what that feels like to carry around. I've lied before. When I was young and stupid and thought it was better that way. I know I'm still not so old, but old enough to know better. I learned as I watched my world fall apart from lies I was told. I learned when my feelings of betrayal broke me from the inside out.

Lies ruin trust. Without trust no relationship of any kind can survive. Once you tell a lie, you ruin any chance at a completely truthful relationship. Whether it's a co-worker or lover, friend or sibling, a relationship that has even one lie in it ruins something.

The truth will truly set you free. It's not a BS saying, it's the best way to live.

Have a great night (well I guess it's technically Friday morning, but) if you're not already in bed, have a good night. See you for my U post tomorrow(/later). :)

Time Tends To Take Thinking


Time

This is a funny to do, but it's the most important. Every day, with all we have going on, it's hard to just find time. Time for us, time to relax and just do something we enjoy or do nothing at all. This is the hardest thing for me to mark off. I'm not good with finding time just for myself.

That also means I don't have a good way to help anyone else mark it off the list. So why am I posting about it if I can't even help? Because I want to make sure everyone does have it on their list. It's as important for our mental health as dating is-almost more. We need time when we're just doing something for the hell of it. I love to write, but that doesn't mean I don't need to take a break from it sometimes. I love to read but I even have to step away from that every once and a while.

Sometimes I want to just play a mindless video game or go sit outside in the sun and just enjoy. I'm telling you to make sure you put time on your to do and find a way to mark it off. Do whatever is mindless and relaxing, whatever it is just do it.

Happy Enjoyment Time :)
