A Necessary Rant.
I will put off posting more of the beautiful images that are full of life in order to acknowledge a more negative part of life that exists in spite of. And I will only write about it because I cannot even begin to fathom the words that will come out of my mouth if I talk unfiltered.
Everybody lies. Even children tell little white lies to their friends to make them happy. And sometimes a lie can be a small thing, or it can be a big thing. But one thing is for sure: A lie is sure to affect people no matter how big or small it is.
I lie. Most of the time I am a very honest and straightforward person, but I do lie, and I am not afraid to say so. This is because at the end of the day, it is human nature, not a very good part of human nature but human nature nonetheless. But I make sure to clean up after myself and after my mess whenever I do, so that at the very best the only person I ever truly end up hurting is myself in the process.
So here’s the deal. If you want to lie, lie. But make sure you don’t get caught. Especially when (not if, when) you know that someone is busting her ass for you and biting her tongue, trying to understand that you might be going through some kind of midlife crisis, which is why you have been behaving irresponsibly. Lie, but make sure I don’t find out about it, because people have limits. And I, of all people, would understand the need for a lie. But even I have my limits, and I get exhausted of understanding people who lie all the time, especially since I choose my lies carefully.
Tell me a half-truth and that’s a whole different story. Lie to me when I’m exhausted and when I have had enough, and say goodbye to my respect.
There you go. My necessary rant. The filtered version. I shall say no more.
