[01-06-2017] Discerning Truth

I do not have a lot of friends because I am actually hard to deal with. I have a frank and strong attitude towards other people but I believe that I am a good friend in my own simple ways. I can be a good friend but a bad enemy.

            I have friends in college and I had created a great bond with them because I consider them not just friends but sisters at heart. We’ve been together since first year college until we graduated. We had our review for the board examination and when it was a week before the examination, I was bombarded with the truth.

            A friend talked to me and told me that she doesn’t like me. She told me that I am overacting, moody and jealous. She told me a lot of negative things but it was too difficult to comprehend at that time, things were running into my head. It lasted for almost 30 minutes and when she stopped talking, I stood up and walked, she held my hand and from that moment, I wanted to break down and cry but I did not.

            Until now, I am still attached unto that time because I wasn’t able to ask her if she actually treated me as a friend, but I am afraid to ask and know the truth. It took her almost four years to tell me the truth. It made a mark in my existence and in my life. Thus, I have trust issues with people around me because of that event.

            Telling the truth is difficult because it takes a lot of guts and power to do so because we can never tell if how much pain we can cause to a person. I believe that from the very start, we must show who we are and what we truly feel to a person. We should reveal to them all the things that we need to hear.


            Let us not wait for that person to hear the truth from others; it is best when it is from our own mouth so that we can be sure to tell everything that we feel towards him/her. Being honest is complex but telling the truth can help us understand better of what’s in front of us.
