"The Truth Behind The Lies"

By : Ira Chantal A. de Gala

In life, we are given the freedom to perceive things on how we want them to be. Have you ever imagined looking into someone else's eyes just to see what they see? All of us have different perceptions in life, and It all depends on the person who observes.

You might think of something for example a picture on a magazine to be beautiful, or maybe a runway model who you think is an inspiration on "thinspiration." But then again, others might think otherwise.

In thinking about something as to whether it is fascinating or grotesque. There's always that thin line between them which is seeing the truth behind the lies.

There will come a time that someone will ask you "Are you okay?". With your guard down you openly tell that someone about what you've been going through.

That is your so called friend. He or she is the one who, you're comfortable with, whom you've spent so much time with and someone who has earned your trust. It takes a lot to trust others and it literally mean A LOT.

But hearing the words "are you okay" sometimes is not enough of a proof that that person cares because, some people are way more interested on the story to pass on to others or sometimes to judge, others are just there because they need something from you, but when the time comes that you need a hand, they would seem to be busy.

Quoting a line from one of my favorites "It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life and its as though you feel you've died cause you've been killed inside." that's how it'll feel that's how it'll hurt because, not everyone is your friend not everything you see or hear from them is the truth and that's actually the reality of having a relationship with others.

Most people choose to see and believe the lies because, it's easier to absorb than the truth. But wouldn't it be better for us to be hurt by the awful reality than to be comforted by sugarcoated lies?
