It’s one of those days when my thoughts feel heavier than usual, and the only way I know to lighten the weight is to write.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on friendship, what it truly means and how people conveniently twist the truth when it suits them. I once had a close friend say to me, “You only know my silly boyfriends, but not my real one.” At the time, I brushed it off, thinking it was just a passing comment. But in the end, it manifested in ways I never imagined, making me question what honesty really means in friendships.
But that’s not even the main reason my spirit is unsettled today. It’s more about loyalty, honesty, and the painful irony of relationships. Imagine investing years into someone, believing in them, only to later realize that they were never fully honest with you from the start, yet, they expect loyalty in return.
The audacity, right?
I’ve come to the realization that I’m done entertaining situations that do not align with my truth.
I refuse to live in the shadows of anyone’s deception, half-truths, or manipulations. I choose to live in my own light.
This is a reminder to myself and to anyone reading: You owe yourself honesty first. You owe yourself the courage to walk away from anything that diminishes your sense of self-worth. You owe yourself the freedom to live your truth, no matter how uncomfortable it makes others feel.
So today, I choose me.
