Bunnie - Sometimes it can seem like we only tell truth for ourselves… so we can sleep at night with a clear conscience. I’ve battled with this question too at times. One day I realised something though. It’s also about being a trustworthy person. I know that because I am honest to those around me, I am a person who’s word they can always trust, and they know that. They may not come to me for ego stroking, but they always come to me when they want truth. There are ways in which truth can be delivered that aren’t snarky or rude or brutal. It still hurts, yes… I’ve learned that real truths hurt the most, because we don’t want to face those things a lot of the time. For myself, I have come to accept that that’s where I want to be, because that’s where I find growth. It’s not for everyone… some people prefer the soft cocoon of lies, even if they’re only a string succession of “white lies.” Each to their own.
You’ve been doing a lot of introspection these last months/year, some of it up, some of it down. It’s always an important moment when we realise our cup is empty. Finding ways that refill it, that are entirely specific to us, is a very important necessity I think. For me, I went back to basics… i asked myself what made me happy and fulfilled as a child, and worked my way up from there.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope you find the peace you’re seeking.
