Lying and Love

Number One

As teenagers, we're basically trained to be skeptical.
Because our "friends" lie to us all the time.
The rule should be "Every human is a liar, until proven honest"

Lying is bad. or so we're told. Constantly from birth; "honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free... I chopped down the cherry tree."

whatever.

The fact is that lying is a necessity to ourselves. We lie to ourselves because the truth?

the truth freaking hurts.

No matter how hard we try and ignore it, or deny it, eventually all the lies fall away, whether we like it or not. And we're left standing naked, those "walls" on the floor at our feet.

But heres the truth about the truth; It hurts. So we lie.



Number Two

Maybe we shouldn't love anyone who is more emotionally stable then us. And maybe we shouldn't love someone who doesn't love us back to the same extent. Maybe we shouldn't love someone who gets over things quicker then us.

But the thing is, with love, there is no "shouldn't.",
There is no "hold on 'till i feel ready" button,
No "wait" or "stop".

It comes at you faster then you can run away from it. Faster then you can cover your eyes. Faster then you can put up those little brick walls around your heart, faster then the soldiers can get there to defend your heart from this silent war we call love. Thats what makes it so amazing at first when it hits us.

No matter how hard you try to chase it away, or defend yourself, you just cant do it.
