I need to know the truth....
What hurts more, running away from the truth or discovering it? Though it's a mere opinion, I believe running away from the truth is more painful. I mean if somebody told you the truth, weather it was about you or not, shouldn't you feel a sense of relief? Not to mention the appreciation that the person was honest. Weather a friend tells you that you're "A stuck up jerk of" or "Lesbian, gay, immature, a true success, to serious, soft" what ever it is...they told the truth. Of course just because somebody said it, doesn’t mean it's true. Which is why to me, if somebody tells you what they believe is the truth, you can either admit it’s true, or defend yourself, tell them that you've got it all wrong. I know I'm sounding a bit harsh today, I'm sorry...but I believe I'm running from the truth. I was told today that I have a nasty habit of putting others before myself. Apparently, a few friends, and classmates wonder why I care about my close friend's dreams, just as much as my own. I simply replied "Why wouldn't I give a damn about others dreams?" "Doesn’t learning about other people's dreams help develop your own in some way?" "The honest truth, I would rather be a failure with everyone, then a success all by myself." Of course many mouths went open after my little speech :P
But I need YOUR opinion about me. Is it bad for me to care about my friend’s and there dreams the same, or more then my own dream? Though I rarely admit, I do run from the truth, which is...I do care more about my good friends then my own needs. Will this be by ultimate downfall, I just need to know. Though I'm on a path to success, I can't help but look behind me to see so many of my friends giving up. Instead of running for the goal, I turn back, and help a few people up. But when I'm on my own two feet again, the success that was in front of me....vanishes, waiting to reveal it's self to me another day. I missed my chance of success...because I helped somebody else, and it feels good. Sighs. So will somebody tell me, is this the way to go? I love helping my friends, they mean allot to me...but when everyone around me points out that I'm risking my own well being, it's a scary thought. I now find me debating myself, is this the right thing? Please, somebody tell me...I need to know the truth.
