People go away when you start telling the truth. This is what my #life experience has shown me. That doesn't mean I lie. I try to be an honest person. It just means I keep things to myself. Things I notice. Things they wanted to forget. Uncomfortable things. Things I need. It's rare for me to speak up when I need things. People don't like it when you need things. There's an unspoken rule that only they can need things. Don't call them out. That's an uncomfortable thing. That makes people go away. They'll just lie, and then go away. I want to be honest. How do I feel safe being honest? How do I know when it's okay? There's too much to say. Too many feelings. Too many needs.
