Be Honest

Honesty is and will always be the best policy. When you’re honest with yourself and those that you’re involved with, you will create better situations for yourself and them. In today’s society honesty is being misconstrued into other things such as hate, someone’s “opinion” or jealously, which can be very true sometimes, that’s why it’s important to keep honest people that you trust around you but it seems as though we are doing the opposite. It seems like we are afraid of honesty and we are moving further away from it which then leads to pushing those away that are honest with us. Social media doesn’t make it any better because now we have the ability to create these false realities of our lives on the internet and make “friends” through it who are doing the same, which then leads us to feel like we aren’t alone. The reality of it is you are alone, and you’ve pushed the people away that have been honest with you to replace them with people who truly don’t know what you’re like besides what you post. The point that I’m making is, it’s easy to call someone a hater or jealous when they make claims about you or if they’re giving you advice that you might not want to hear. It’s even easier to listen to the positive things people say on social media and rely on that feedback instead of the previous but in all honesty they do not know you and you do not know them, but the feeling of someone having something positive to say about you is like a drug, an addiction that’s hard to subdue. Don’t get caught up with this virtual life and forget that you have a REAL life where not everything is going as perfect as you picture on social media, be honest with yourself.
