TRUTH.

I have a challenge for everyone out there that is reading this blog. It will be hard, and you will want to give up on it after a while, probably after like 2 seconds. Try telling the truth. Go a whole day and don't tell a single lie. See if you can do it. I am going to try and do it tomorrow; I'm not going to lie to anyone, and I will be up front and honest with them. I don't think we should lie to people to make them like us. You shouldn't feel like you can't be your true self around someone because you're afraid of what they might think. Who cares what anyone else thinks?? (A lot of people do, actually. I used to.) Well, if you aren't your true self around people, you're not only lying to them, you are lying to yourself. Why do that? Just to impress someone? No, you shouldn't feel like you have to. If someone is your friend, they will accept you for who you are. If they don't, they weren't truly your friend to begin with. They liked you for what they saw and not what was really underneath the surface. Now if there are mean people out there who dislike you, they are probably going to dislike you no matter what. So why put on an act for them? Of all people, they should not be ones that you care about pleasing. Be straight-forward around them and don't put up a facade. Just tell it like it is and be yourself. Never be anything else. So, basically this blog included two things: telling the truth & being yourself. I never realized how they kind of tied into one another. Did you?..
