Spill it sister...

It seems like us women have been trained to exchange secrets ever since we were little. It is hard to determine whether it is the sacred trust from one to another we learn to love or the special feeling we hold when we know that someone will keep our secrets under wraps – you must choose carefully. But pretty soon secrets get shared; lies get told and everything becomes one big mess – it isn’t worth it.

I cannot help but believe when women act covertly they are ultimately hurting no one but themselves – the benefits are only temporary. I see people (acquaintances, friends, loved ones, TV stars, etc…) lie to their children, their parents, husbands, girlfriends, siblings, coworkers – one after another – embellishing financial status, their children’s accomplishments, their age, their addictions, their relationships – in hopes to get what they want in the end, only to get burned.

It would be hypocritical not to acknowledge that I can relate – low self-esteem and the need to please others haunted me for years and years – many tears cried – but the life lessons I took away when I finally broke free were priceless.

It all comes down to what you’re missing, the life you want to live eludes you – the going has gotten tough and you’re trying to make it easy. Pretending will never change reality, you are not safeguarded by words – there is never an ethical explanation. It’s all so simple - - - Spill it sister!
