Dishonesty will get you nowhere kid, I guarantee you this
I have a big mouth, I am someone that if you ever tell me that what you're about to divulge to me stays and dies with me, I always give fair warning that if I'm drunk there is no guarantee. And even though my big mouth has gotten me in trouble more times than I can remember, I feel like my honesty is something I'm proud of, something that says alot about the person I am. Those who know me, really know me, know all the effort, rise, and downfalls I've had with my friendships and even seldom relationships. It's a sensitive topic; once I create a friendship I hold onto it, believing like a naive kid how somethings once united stay together forever. As we grow up we learn that nothing lasts forever and in some cases that's okay, but there's a point in everyone's life where we feel that we are getting to old to be thrown into this crazy whirlwind of confusion, deceit, and even slight betrayal, because let's face it, betrayal is the only word that fits in with that feeling pulling at your heart.
I won't lie, to a certain degree I feel relieved, like I can breath easily now. But that being said, another event has put everything in complete reverse orbit and although I can handle almost anything, somethings just seem to surreal to handle. How can something so simple create such chaos? And I know chaos, it's something I've lived through for a few years, it's what fuels my way of thinking, and my writing, but chaos, no matter the outcome, is destructive.
Something so small.
Something so small can create a world of difference, it's what separates like from love; dislike from hate; friends from enemies; and honesty from lies. It's a fine line and I know we all balance on it day by day, but as long as we stay on that line, it's what separates us from good or bad. I'll never understand people, never get why we need to lie to get what we want. It's a fact that the truth hurts, but doesn't it hurt more when it's prolonged and even more when it comes to light from someone else mouth? And I'm not gonna sit here and act like a saint, because I'm not, God knows I'm not, but I can't say that I have lied my way into someone else's heart, I always's run the other way when thing's seem too serious.
To those who have lied to me, I wish you well. "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." You can't regain trust as easily as gaining it; trust is earned and sometimes even given freely. But going against that trust and expecting for things to be the same is not something I am willing to over look.
For those who were honest, even if it was a simple truth, thank you. It's not about choosing sides or anything, it's about being honest all the way through, even if it is the hardest thing, even if it feels like it's going to kill you. You have to look out for your own, but you also have to look out for yourself and the people who are going to get hurt through that lie. If that makes you a bad friend in someone's eyes, then maybe they weren't your friend to begin with, maybe they never stopped to think how their lie was going to affect you in the end. A real friend wouldn't do that, wouldn't make you go through that ordeal by fire just to save their own neck. Because whose gonna save yours? It might seem selfish, but it's not, in the long run, without them realizing it at first, you helped them stay true to who they are. And trust me, they will thank you for that.
