Honesty: Follow Your Gut

​Let me just start off by saying my opinion is my own, period.

This post is about being truthful. Honesty is always the best policy, because when you aren’t things get messy. Take the Jordyn Woods scandal. Maybe if she had been honest with Khloe before she found out from someone else it would have played out differently. Probably wouldn’t been that big of a scandal, I mean with the Kardashians you never know, but if she had not kept her mouth shut, maybe it would of worked out in a way that wouldn’t have resulted in her losing the person closest to her.

​Telling the truth isn’t always easy. I know first-hand. When the truth effects the people closest to you, whether you’d be the cause of their pain or not, you want to shield them from unnecessary hurt. However, what we fall to realize is that keeping those secrets locked in only hurts them more when they find out later that you knew. This situation reminds me of one I got myself into. And NO I didn’t mess with a friend’s man or nothing like that because I would never. Lines like that I would never cross because I wouldn’t want anyone of my friends to do them to me. Back to the point at hand. There has been a time where I knew some information that I know a friend of mine needed to hear. However, I didn’t want to tell them. Not because I didn’t think they deserved to know, but because it would cause drama and issues that they shouldn’t have had to deal with. That no one should have to deal with. Letting Pandora out of the box at any time can cause ruptures where you didn’t even think could be possible. That was another fear of mine. I didn’t want to disturb the peace that had come about, but at the end of the day it was about me. It was about right and wrong, and not letting disrespect continue. I am happy with the choice that I made, because overall as a friend I did the right thing, and as a person I followed my gut. That is all one could ever do.
 
I would never tell someone to lie. I would never tell someone what they should and shouldn’t do. What I will say is to always be truthful with yourself. Follow your instincts not your fears. Do what you believe is right, because at the end of the day you are the one that has to live with the decisions you’ve made.
