It’s a feeling that can only be described as heart wrenching. A feeling that can change you as a person. It feels like a anchor keeping you to the soil called uncertainty. It’s probably a feeling that we all are familiar with whether it may be something we have kept from our parents,siblings or friends. Guilt.
We tell ourselves that it’s for the greater good or for the right reasons,that it’s for the best. All because we do not want to hurt the feelings of the ones we hold dear or their image of us,because impressions are everything.
Even though we all have our reasons ,it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing to do ,as it keeps us from moving forward. We begin to feel shackled in our guilt and use lies to cope with everything. This feeling wont dissappear ,its almost like a incurable disease which can only be treated until the source is removed or consumes everything.
I’m not saying that telling the truth will solve every problem. I have a lot of things that I am guilty of, things that I wish I could undo,things that i would to do differently but telling the truth would be the best way to start moving forward. Things such as trust might be wounded but can heal overtime. Feelings will be hurt but that’s only temporary.
Courage and confidence is something that we all lack and plays a key role in whether we want to be set free from ours shackles or be sunk deeper into the abyss. It’s never easy to overcome guilt and wont ever be but getting it off your chest now would be better than hurting people’s feelings when they find out.
Take things one step at a time and be honest with the ones closest to you. Sacrifices will have to be made but if they are worth it ,they will understand and it will also bring peace of mind to you. Choose to move forward rather then reminiscing about the mistakes you made in the past. Its a tough burden to withstand and it only gets heavier the longer you keep it.
