Lies That Can Hurt You

Why Say Them?

Lies That Can Hurt You

I tend to ask myself and others, why do people lie when the truth is always in clear view? Is there really a true answer for that question? Lying will forever be in the DNA of human beings, but why over such stupid and obvious things? I, myself, have experienced the worst lies known to human kind. But why do I let it go? I sit there and let the lies be told yet I do nothing about it.

Ever since I have started dating (a very young age), I have heard all kinds of lies: I love you, I care about you, what will our wedding look like, all things that any girl wants to hear and always does hear. Sometimes those are lies and sometimes...there is a lucky girl that hears them and knows that they are true. But some lies are a lot worse than those simple common ones. For example, I am not snorting cocaine. I am not shooting up. I am not doing drugs. I am not cheating on you. These, these right here, these are more serious and can do a lot more harm than good.

It is probably the hardest thing to watch someone you love go down a path that will hurt themselves and everything around them. Although, it is even harder to watch them doing it and not being able to do anything about it. All I want to do is help you. I have personally never done drugs but I don't see how they would damage you enough to not seek or even want help.

Users may not know it, but there are always signs and proof to the ones trying to help. You can't always try to hide it because eventually, somewhere down your long line of lies...we know. We know what that vague white powder is. We know what those cut up straws are. We know what those little clear bags are. We know what that 24 hour runny nose is about. We know what a lot of sniffing is about. Users believe that we are stupid, when in reality, we are a lot smarter than you think and than you are.

I am speaking on behalf of all the guys and girls who are in sticky relationships. Where the only thing holding them back from being fully happy are those moments where you don't know what to do anymore because of the serious lies. Lies through my eyes are considered the border between wanting to marry someone and wanting to leave someone.

We all want to be that person who in 10 years, your partner looks to his friends and says, "she's the one who helped me. She's the one who got me through everything and made me who I am today." But in order to do that, all we can do it wait until our partner is fully ready to seek help. If the lies become violence towards you, please get out. Don't wait to be THAT girl that helped...don't get physically and emotionally run down by something that simple. Please.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
