So important for me 2 weeks ago

I feel so bad about recent layers of lies. I am hoping I can shed this with a “solstice cleansing commitment.” Sounds new-agey, I know, but I am putting this out there as an “offering.” Basically, from this summer solstice to the winter solstice, I commit to having this aspect of myself entirely gone.



I was thinking about this the other day 3 weeks ago

and its been weeks or even months since I last lied. I haven’t even been thinking about it. I think I eventually got rid of it by asking myself if i REALLY wanted to lie, because what would be the point?



Stop lying 1 month ago

um um um 1 month ago

At times of trouble i find my self lieing about things thst should be truth told. If i was to get in trouble it was better off not asking me wat i did because my lie would get me into more trouble.

i made a little progress. i think so. it’s not just about lying, it’s also about communicating with others and telling them while things haven’t gotten so bad yet. my boyfriend has helped me a lot, but i’m still lying and hiding things from him. yes, it’s hard to get rid of old habits, but that’s no excuse. i love him so much. i want us to have a great relationship, so no lying, and definitely no cheating.
also, my mother is a great support to me and i have to, i want to be honest to her. our relationship has improved in the last time, i try not to lie to her. not even about small things. cause they can turn to big things. they did in the past.

I lie way too much... 2 months ago

I lie about small things. Unnecessary things. Big things. & everything in between. I need to stop. :(

This also means stop talking about what I don't know 2 months ago

The urge to participate in conversations leads me to even jump in saying things I don’t know about. I am an expert bullsh*tter. Really. Perhaps its all due to an underlying need of on-the-spot acceptance.
No more of this either.

Later 2 months ago

First, I have to get out of this town. I need to have a new start. I’m just kind of scared I’ll get caught, I just don’t want to deal with that fear anymore.

Why did I lie? 2 months ago

So many small ones, consecutive, again and again.

Not much reflection. Just recording it for myself. And trying to set myself to stop.



Untitled 2 months ago

I lie without even realizing it anymore. I try to save the feelings of the people around me, but it just gets me into more trouble. I’ve changed things around so many times that I don’t even know what the truth is anymore. I hate that I have grown so used to this nasty habit. My boyfriend is sick of hearing my multiple stories, and he has every right to be upset. I don’t want to lose him due to this stupid habit. I’ve realized that I can’t keep saving everyone else’s feelings. People want to hear the truth, not some sweetened version of it. I know what I need to do, but I need to stop and think before I say something that will get me in trouble. I need to trust myself and re-earn the trust of the people I love. I’m turning my life around right now. NO MORE LIES.
