Does Pure Honesty Exist?

  Do you honestly feel comfortable keeping that secret when you know the impact it could have on others?

Are you hiding away a deep regret and promised yourself your not going to tell anyone cause it would make others look at you differently?

Are you 100% honest to anyone?

I’m talking about pure honesty, you may not lie to people but you are not telling them the truth

Most people have secrets, regret or simply feel uncomfortable opening u to someone completely.

Now I actually wrote, “Everyone has secrets…” before this but then I spoke to a friend and he has no secrets what’s so ever. He felt free to tell me anything and everything and I mean EVERYTHING!

So this reading is focusing on people who aren’t as open as they wish to be, maybe not as trusting towards others and have a hard time letting something out, something that’s going on in their lives or simply something they just want to say but have second thoughts about it.

You keep all of this inside you and as time passes, more and more piles on.

Nothing is ever gone, simply forgotten

People don’t usually open up as much because of today’s social expectations.

It is hard to find someone to be completely truthful towards

Tell them every little secret

Every lie

People you’ve hurt

People you want to hurt

Every thought

The bad things you’ve done in life

Might be in a relationship but have a crush on someone else

Most people share these things amongst different people; you tell something’s to a friend, your partner, parent

Do you open up all to one person?

For some of you, there might already be someone who knows every little detail about you.

It could be a parent, brother, sister or friend you’ve known for years

I know I don’t tell my Parents or siblings everything

Parents tend to get worried too easily and once that triggers, certain conversations or procedures take place. 

Plus, it could be awkward…

I have 2 brothers, both younger

I’ve told them things that I haven’t even told my parents

Hopefully they’ll forget, not likely, but once I told them, I felt much better.

I’ve been studying abroad ever since I was 9

I’ve never had a permanent home

I move around a lot so the people I meet don’t stay around for long

I asked a girl a few days ago if she opens up to her boyfriend completely.

She paused

Then I knew the answer straight away

I then talked to her about it and tried to question her why she doesn’t

She hardly answered any of my questions and hesitated throughout

I can imagine how hard it can be for some people

Especially when I saw her facial expressions throughout my questioning. 

Art therapy may be helpful for a lot of people, instead of talking about all your secrets, problems etc. you create a piece of artwork that says it for you.

However after you create your artwork, the thoughts you used to fuel your artistic creation is still hiding deep down inside of you. You’re still not letting it out.

Talking about problems is a major help, very therapeutic.  

But whom can you trust?

How does one gain your trust?

How long would this trust last?

Is it possible to meet someone for the first time and spill out everything?

This is what I want to pursue in my project.

I want to create an environment where people feel free to let out their issues, emotions or any problems, ANYTHING, know that they are not alone in this, won't get judged, that there are others that may be in the same struggling situation.

Everyone needs someone to talk to, let that be me
