Get Real

There are times that we put up that facade that we're okay. I know I've done it. We all have. That being said, what happens when we let that facade down and get real?

Pain. Shame. Guilt. Inability to forgive.

But, is that what it really is? Maybe to a point, but the point of getting real is to let ourselves see who we really are.

And, if we're lucky, we'll have friends and family that will let us get real with them. And they'll be real with us.

Not everyone has that support system. If you don't, try and find people you trust. I know that takes time and effort, but if you can find people that you can be open and honest and real with, then you will find people not only worth knowing, but people who will love you regardless.

I know that some people won't love others if they show themselves honestly and realistically. But there are those that will and the ones that will are the ones we need in our lives.

So, find someone you love and trust and whose judgment you don't fear (for if they truly love you they won't judge, but they will be open and honest with you as well) and open up. Be honest. Be real.

It is only in reality that we find ourselves.

So...GET REAL!
