When you know the truth, it doesn't matter what people say behind your back, or make up when they're called out.

The truth is the truth.

Sometimes people do things that are hard to believe under the cover of the reputation and rapport they've built.

But the truth is still the truth.

I know I'm being outted and to look at the people who once were my buddies that now treat me like an outsider, the emptiness of it all is discouraging. They chose a lie. And how easy to dump me, someone without the credibility of performative kindness and positivity.

It's not the first or fiftieth time, and it won't be the last.

I know how this works. And I don't fault people who choose sides to choose the one who fools them. That is human nature, like moths to a light, it serves them until it doesn't.

I was never going to fit in with a lie. And whatever was said about me is never going to be true. But I will pay so others can believe what's comfortable for them. That is my purpose in society. Because I'm emotional and caring, I make an easy target and I know that. I'm well aware lol I've been stuck as this person my whole life. It used to be the reason I had so many people in my life. Times have changed and now people don't want the truth if it shatters their fragile perceptions. It's not easy to live in a cruel world.

I know I seem so breakable, but that is a projection because you can't break the truth and what they see is their own frailty at risk.

I belong in nature, around animals and rocks and trees, where truth is the only belief and harmony the only religion.

It is usually like that, until someone who thinks like you refuses to believe "the legends" and comes and asks you directly. It takes a special kind of "gentle toughness" to be open and true, without allowing someone else's image to be tarnished by rumors. Chances are, these buddies were never your buddies to begin with, or they wouldn't allow a rumor to break your tribe. Or maybe.. they need more time to grow and mature enough to take on and live by the (often uncomfortable) truth. Keep being your honest self be kind to yourself and keep going forward! There ARE still sincere people out there ^^. Usually these people have went through a lot of struggle and realized that being true is best, no matter what. ❤

@Busybee333 thank you, it's always a breath of fresh air when someone actually understands and isn't just passing out the canned minimum as if integrity is uncomfortable. I'm definitely looking for a deeper loyalty, not just to receive but most importantly to give. I'm a bit lost right now, but I know my way in the dark 🖤

@EldritchFox There was a saying that in the dark, stars shine the brightest! ^^ perhaps, you are the one "shining the path forward" :)

@EldritchFox when you allow yourself to feel like an infinite source of the best you can be, giving feels like healing. The universe has this boomerang effect. The more you give, the triple returns. Maybe not right away, maybe not in the way you imagined. But what seeks you, finds you by your own unique signature. The universe never stays in debt. Now, in the dark.. soon you will see the first rays of sunrise. Only those who walked through the dark know the gratefulness and the grace of greeting the sun 🌞. And when it shines on you, you will feel it with a greater joy than before. Valleys don't stretch forever, there's always a summit in hindsight ^^. Both sides have treasures, if we look deeply enough ^^. Allow the process to unfold and trust yourself, you've got this :)

Human nature.
Best to be above it and run with the wolves.

@robingoodfellow Most humans don't know wtf they're doing or why they're doing what they are doing, as long as other people are doing it. It's basic and I accept that lol gonna do my thang

robingoodfellow · M

@EldritchFox you've summed up human nature in the most perfect way I've ever seen or heard

I'm sorry, people can suck. I learned the true value of your last sentence at a young age. I wish I could have that back in my life more than anything. Live it up out there. 🌸🌿

EldritchFox · 41-45, F

@moonlightlullaby Nature is the synergy I crave so often. It balances me even with it's disguises. Thank you. I'm sorry you aren't getting enough nature in your life. It can be like living without air.

moonlightlullaby · 46-50, F

@EldritchFox Thank you. The reason I said live it up is because an accident hindered those abilities immensely. You never know what's around the corner and those people won't matter in the end.

That’s must be so rough I’m sorry ❤

I have no idea what you were outted for but it doesn't matter because the truth is we have all done things aren't proud of at one point in our lives ...but yes a lot of kindness can seem performative ...

Whatever is said behind our backs is not our business.

EldritchFox · 41-45, F

@caccoon Until you realize you've lost your friends to bullshiz nobody cared enough to confront you about.

caccoon · 36-40

@EldritchFox fk em. Push forward. You're amazing

EldritchFox · 41-45, F

@caccoon I'm alone af, scared to bits rn and so very exhausted with pushing. Thank you though for believing in me. I never give up. But I'm tired of fighting for every scrap, I know I deserve better than that.
