Truth, lies...and trust

The truth…

Sometimes it can be really difficult to hear. But, its something we all want – deep down inside I think we really do.

So why do some go to such lengths to hide the truth? Why do they run? Afraid of what the truth will really mean to someone?

I know, personally, I would rather hear the truth – no matter how hurtful it might be. Then I can make a decision on my own as to how to handle it. Some might think I can’t handle the truth – but oh yes, I can.

I am an extremely independent woman. I have taken care of myself for a lot of years – it’s not really that difficult. When you rely on yourself you will have truthfulness. It’s kind of hard to lie to yourself.

And if you find out someone has lied to you, well, that I believe is even harder than hearing the truth itself. I mean, if you can’t trust someone then you have nothing.

What started this conversation? Well, right now I’ve lost the trust I had in a couple people. It’s hard to bear, but I will survive. Always have. And when the time is right, they will know of the hurt they have caused, of the heartache.

But maybe, just maybe, they don’t care.
