Honesty Is the True Way Forward

DON'T BE too hard on yourself. Honest self-reflection is a slog. Yet a kind of deep healing does occur. Memories are hard because the events themselves were hard. Many people would deal with the past only if they could rewrite it. Failing that, they will deny the past and thus deny their true self. Honesty is the true way forward, it offers healing and welcoming forgetfulness that is not a treachery. Mending a torn relationship is like doing heavy work in the garden. It’s messy. It’s not easy. When you're done, take a nice long shower.
