Personal Truth
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. -Mark Twain
I just tell the truth; it's easier that way
Today,
I know that no one from my past needs to see things the way I do for me
to get better and move on. Trying to convince others of what I have
learned through my own journey can be an exercise in futility and delay
my progress. First of all, each of us has our own truth that is unique
unto itself. Second, each of us is at a different level of understanding
and acceptance of who and where we are in life. Each member in my
family had different experiences. That I thought we somehow matched up
was an illusion. We each experienced our childhoods in our own way, and
we have a right to our own perceptions. I do not have to get anyone to
see it my way in order for me to feel comfortable. My truth is my truth,
theirs is theirs. When I have truth inside, I need not live falsely. I
tell the truth to others; this enables me to build trusting
relationships. I increase my own self esteem because I am not hiding
things or bending reality. I'm not behaving like I have something bad
inside of me that I don't want others to see.
