About This Quote
I want to be honest about what I am saying and show the world the truth, rather than showing people a false version of myself. When we pretend to be someone we aren’t and keep secrets from people, we are not being honest and we are lying to them. This is a very different type of dishonesty than telling half-truths about ourselves. If we tell the truth about ourselves and our lives, those around us will know what we really believe and can judge us as such.
