Here’s the truth about lies. First of all, they suck. It sucks when someone lies to you, and it sucks when someone lies about you. It really sucks when some people that you believe to know who you are, believe those lies about you. And the worst, is when someone tries to convince you that their lie is true, when you know it’s not, and you watch them lie to your face. I understand, because just like it’s happened to every single one of us, it’s also happened to me. Now, here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter, let them lie. Let people believe them. Don’t expend your precious energy trying to defend your truths. I learned this lesson, the hard way, when I wasted so much energy feeling hurt and betrayed. I also learned that the truth ALWAYS prevails no matter what, eventually. It is not our job to chase around after someone’s lies in defense of ourselves or for any sort of justice. I learned it’s best to just sit back and watch the lies manifest what is necessary until the truth is naturally exposed. Ultimately, you end up with more truths than you bargained for. I’m not saying it will all be good, but I am saying that it’s necessary. See, I understand now, that liars have their own issues, just as those who perpetuate the lies. We can’t change people, we can only see them for who they are and let them be who they are. If you lose a friend because they believed a lie about you, then you didn’t lose a real friend. It hurts, but it is what it is, it’s the truth being exposed for you. Personally, I am grateful for all truths, even the bad ones, because this is how we learn and grow towards what is truly best for us. This web of life can get kind of tangled up sometimes, especially when we endure storms. If your web gets tangled up from someone else’s stormy lies, then move on to a better tree and create yourself a new web full of truth, love, and joy.
