Trust Will Set You Free

but first it's gonna hurt like hell

“There are moments when our own words leave our own mouths in just such a way, that our own darned ears perk up at the truth of them. Those nuggets of wisdom we speak that are every bit meant for us, as they are for the person to which we impart them. My words sat there like a lump in the back of my throat as we said our goodbyes and I rolled them around the rest of the day.

Truth, as the old adage goes, indeed has the power to set us free, but first it will have its way with us. Not because we deserve to be beat up for making terrible decisions. Not because we are inherently bad people in need of a cold dose of reality. Truth isn’t a punishment to be doled out, or a lesson to be learned. But we’ve been conditioned over the course of our entire lives not to trust the truths that we know.”
