The Truth Sucks

The truth is painful. Deep down nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to really hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can’t help ourselves. And sometimes, we tell them, because we owe them at least that much.”-Grey's Anatomy


This quote hits so close to home it's unreal. Everything I have been feeling the past couple of weeks/months is culminated into one simple quote from a show that I love. The truth sucks to hear, especially if it's something that you've seen coming for a long time, but when it finally hits you and it's said aloud, you have to face reality. That is something I've been facing. I've been in denial about some of my friendships for a very long time. Some that I've been letting people use me because I don't want to lose them as a friend and others, well, that are just poisonous to me. These friendships I've just been letting go on out of fear of being alone in the world. But it's becoming an issue that is affecting my mental health and well being, so it's time to let go of some of those friendships...but that is so much easier said than done.
