#318 - PRETENDING IS PAINFUL

Though I think it’s much safer to hide how I really feel. Though I think it’s way easier to pretend like nothing is wrong. Though I think it’s more wise to not disclose the entire truth…it’s not.

Hiding is hard.
Pretending is painful.
Non-disclosure is unfulfilling.

And I don’t want to live that way.

I want to live a life of integrity – where my character is consistent regardless of whether or not anyone is looking. I want to live a life of honesty – where everything I say is true. I want to live a life of transparency – where I place a higher value on truth-telling than I do on image-protecting.

Vices and victories.
Struggles and success.
Hesitations and happiness.
Anxieties and accomplishment.

The full range of my emotions and experiences will find their home here on this website. Because at the end of the day, I have two options: I can tell the truth or I can live a lie. And though it may be hard at times to do the former, I know for sure that I don’t want to experience the latter.
