The Perfect Lie

As soon as you are born, you’re just this beam of energy and light. You really don’t know anything or anyone except your parents. They are your true first loves. They teach you how to love, read, speak and walk to name a few but as you get older society teaches you about people, finances, the world. Yet in all of these things, no one ever teach you how to protect your heart. You slowly begin to learn this as people, life and movies present them to you. Society teaches you these so-called trends and how much weight you’re supposed to be. Or how much money or how many children you should have, while your parents teach you how to protect yourself. Especially if you come from an darker background. Yet, you learn who to love and become discern with through lessons as you grow from childhood to becoming a young adult. When you find that special someone who shows you that they do not love you and even though you love them with your whole heart, when is it time to let go? How do you let go? When you’ve done all that you can with friends and family, how can you walk away without feeling bad about letting negative things that aren’t meant for you or your life, go? There is no one to teach you this! Everyone can give their opinion on how to let go but if they have never been through it, can one truly help? That is what I had to learn and the fact that adulting can become so ghetto but you have to live in order to survive in this world. On top of that, becoming who you really are as a person and not what others think or want you to be. Self love is always the best and correct love. You have to invent you and your own logo for people to respect. Your character is all you have regardless if people talk or spread rumors about you. Your character is the only thing that speaks for itself. I just wish that I was taught this in life earlier than I had learned. Rest assure I know this now and that is all that matters.
