Lies That Can Hurt You

Why Say Them?

Lies That Can Hurt You

I tend to ask myself and others, why do people lie when the truth is always in clear view? Is there really a true answer for that question? Lying will forever be in the DNA of human beings, but why over such stupid and obvious things? I, myself, have experienced the worst lies known to human kind. But why do I let it go? I sit there and let the lies be told yet I do nothing about it.

Ever since I have started dating (a very young age), I have heard all kinds of lies: I love you, I care about you, what will our wedding look like, all things that any girl wants to hear and always does hear. Sometimes those are lies and sometimes...there is a lucky girl that hears them and knows that they are true. But some lies are a lot worse than those simple common ones. For example, I am not snorting cocaine. I am not shooting up. I am not doing drugs. I am not cheating on you. These, these right here, these are more serious and can do a lot more harm than good.

It is probably the hardest thing to watch someone you love go down a path that will hurt themselves and everything around them. Although, it is even harder to watch them doing it and not being able to do anything about it. All I want to do is help you. I have personally never done drugs but I don't see how they would damage you enough to not seek or even want help.

Users may not know it, but there are always signs and proof to the ones trying to help. You can't always try to hide it because eventually, somewhere down your long line of lies...we know. We know what that vague white powder is. We know what those cut up straws are. We know what those little clear bags are. We know what that 24 hour runny nose is about. We know what a lot of sniffing is about. Users believe that we are stupid, when in reality, we are a lot smarter than you think and than you are.

I am speaking on behalf of all the guys and girls who are in sticky relationships. Where the only thing holding them back from being fully happy are those moments where you don't know what to do anymore because of the serious lies. Lies through my eyes are considered the border between wanting to marry someone and wanting to leave someone.

We all want to be that person who in 10 years, your partner looks to his friends and says, "she's the one who helped me. She's the one who got me through everything and made me who I am today." But in order to do that, all we can do it wait until our partner is fully ready to seek help. If the lies become violence towards you, please get out. Don't wait to be THAT girl that helped...don't get physically and emotionally run down by something that simple. Please.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
