“What Would Happen If I Told the Truth — Even to Just Myself?”
The scariest lies are not the ones we tell others. They are the ones we whisper to ourselves so convincingly that we almost believe them. “It is not that bad.” “I am fine.” “This is enough.”
But deep down, we know better. Truth has a weight to it. We feel it pressing against our chest at night or gnawing at the edges of our joy.
If we told the truth — even quietly, even just to ourselves - the dam would crack. The excuses would fall apart. We would see the gap between the life we are living and the life our soul longs for.
Yes, it might hurt. Truth can sting like salt in an open wound. But it also cleans, clears, and heals. Because when we finally admit our truth, we give ourselves permission to choose differently, to stop settling and start living.
The first step to freedom is not shouting your truth to the world — it is whispering it to ourselves and daring to believe it.
More Food For Thought:
What truth have I been resisting, even when my body and heart already know it?
What fear keeps me from speaking that truth, even to myself?
If I finally faced it, how would my choices — and my freedom — shift?
Dare to tell yourself the unfiltered truth and let it shatter the illusion that has been keeping you small.
