When you tell a lie, many times it's because you are assuming that person cannot handle your truth.

But your truth is your truth, if they can't handle it, then that's their problem. It just might be that they can handle it. Don't make that assumption. Give them the benefit of the doubt that they can handle it and let go.

Let life happen and stop trying to force it all to go this way or that. Your attempts to force things are akin to building a dam with cardboard and tape. Eventually it breaks.
