The Truth Hurts

That's all. It's true. Sometimes the truth is beautiful and clear and freeing, and sometimes, it really hurts. Two sides of a coin. Shiny copper on one side, gummed-up Trident on the other. A stunning, silky Breck blonde from the back, but when she turns around, her face doesn't match the hair. A flowery name like Lily or Daisy but a biting personality. A venus fly trap that looks like a houseplant but devours unsuspecting flies. My college boyfriend had one of those--he was a horticulture major.

Sometimes, the truth hurts and all you can do is sit with it. Look it in the eye. Accept it.

Good night.
