Quote :

Children have the freedom to express joy openly. Adults repress joy. It is a way of protecting ourselves from being hurt. Just as we fear the consequences of expressing anger or sexual feelings, we fear the consequences of giving and receiving love. God forbid we should get too happy! If we let ourselves bubble over, we fear that we just might bubble away. We are afraid that if we let ourselves love freely, we'll be opening ourselves up for tremendous hurt.

Sounds so true isn't it? (:

Telling the truth hurts. Lately.. I have been expressing the truth to everyone. Big lies that I told, small lies that i tell, close friends, not close friends. It hurts.. when you just speak your mind. I fear of losing them all the time. But as slowly do this... I realised that it really does free your mind of things. Things that I once worry about no longer becomes a source of worry. Things that I get stressed about no longer becomes stressful to me. I no longer have to think before I talk, I know for a fact that I am no longer fake to Anyone out there. I am me, and a genuine me. I don't lie to you and in doing so, I do not expect my friends to be 100% honest with because I believe it is a matter of choice for them whether they want to be honest to me or not. I realised that only though telling the truth then can i realised who REALLY accepts me for who I am, while those who used to like my personas go away. (:

I am glad that i made this choice.

I am sorry, I kept it from you for a while. I don't know what will happen but I only want to tell you the truth. I know that I am running a very big risk of losing you as a friend. But I still want you to know the truth. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful life.

Stive and Love
