Secrets

We all keep our secrets. There are things that we don't tell anyone. Not even our closets friends or our significant others. When people ask about them we simply smile and deny anything that they suspect. The question is when do those little secrets or lies become the truth? The more that you live in hiding who you really are the more you become the person that you probably don't want to be. Instead of lying about what really happened just admit to doing it. If you did wrong than own up to it because the guilt will end up eating you alive. I've done some things in my life that I was not proud of. I kept secrets that shouldn't have been kept and lost friends over it once the truth finally did come out.

Heck I will go so far as to say in college I became the person I didn't want to be. Hiding who I really was deep down to be in with a crowd. Going out every weekend night drinking. Doing things that were not true to who I really was. Once I left college I never looked back. I got rid of friends and kept some. So when I say it happens the more you pretend to be what you aren't you become that.

Some of us live in the lie that keeping secrets from people protects them. It doesn't. Lying to them and keeping something from them only makes them that much more upset when the truth comes out. Truth ALWAYS finds a way to come out so you are better of saying the truth right from the get go. I want people around me who are going to be brutallt honest and if I look like shit will tell me I look like shit. If you want people around you who are fake and only tell you what you want to hear than be prepared to be hurt a whole heck of a lot of times.
