People don't really want to know the truth, do they?
They'd rather hear sugar-coated half truths. Pay them compliments and they'll eat it up like M&Ms.
What do you do when your friend is headed down the primrose path of self-destruction? What do you do if you think that your friend needs some shaking up, some telling off, else they are headed for trouble?
But you also know that if you're the one to do it, even in care, the adage 'shoot the messanger' holds true.
You could do the right thing, and suffer the repurcussions.
Or you could just keep quiet, shrug it off, and tell yourself, "its not my life, he's an adult capable of thinking for himself..." and know that deep down inside, you're just making excuses for your cowardice. Feeling like a hypocrite for letting something like that get away.
I don't know.
Sometimes, I feel like I don't know what I believe in anymore. My principles in life, once set in black and white, are now in blurry shades of grey.
I need an overhaul. I need to spring clean my soul. I need to set my priorities right. I need to know where and what I stand for, else I fall for anything.
Where do I begin?
