ok.  so let me start by saying i don't lie.  i know that there have been times when i've messed up on this and times in my life when this rule wasn't important to me, but i've been lied to a lot in my life and i know how much it sucks.  so as a general rule i try my best not to lie.  even little things.  but i do believe in phrasing things in a manner that it will cause the least harm and i believe that some things don't need to be said because saying them helps nothing and hurts a lot.  and sometimes it just unnessacerily complicates things.  i know some people think of this as lying by ommission but i think it's being reasonable and decent.  but here's the catch- i am sick to death of biting my tongue, i can taste the blood.

there are so many things that i'm not saying because they will only hurt the people around me.  i find myself craving the company of those who seem to understand.  there are some people i can say anything to and they understand.  or at least try to understand.  there are others who are so judgemental i find myself practically mute in their presence.  i don't know what to do.  saying somethings will only cause problems but i've reached my breaking point.  now even little things have me feeling like a might scream.  some things i need to just learn to let go of, some things i need to avoid, and there are some things i feel like i need to say.  but isn't that just selfish?  saying something to help myself at the expense of those around me.
