“Let it all out,” they say.

Yea, well whoever said that clearly didn’t have any hidden hell. It’s not that easy, anyone who has ever truly fucked up knows that. No, it’s not easy, but oh holy balls is it necessary.

The thing is: if you don’t tell the truth, someone is eventually going to tell it for you and in the meantime, your soul is going to die a little with each lie. Truth never stays hidden. It’s a universal law and no, your secrets aren’t special...they’ll find their way to the surface eventually.

Let that shit out, babe! It’s going to hurt like a motherfucker, people are going to get pissed, things will change (because it’s time for them too)...and then, then you’re going to wake up one day and feel like you can finally breathe. And in that moment you’ll truly be free to start forgiving yourself.

Take a deep breath and just say it.
Let it go now.
It’s time.
