Words to live by

I was listening to a psychologist I like tonight and he was talking about how like is full of tragedy and suffering so the last thing you want to do is to be the cause of your own tragedy. I felt like he was talking to me.

He said that’s why it’s important to tell the truth, because lying is a terrible long-term strategy for leAding your life by. If you live truthfully, you’re always on firm ground and it’s much easier to be confident in yourself.

All of this is of course true. The disappointing thing is that I don’t think I understood that a couple of years ago. Ugh. I really fucking hate myself sometimes.
