Deceit

I though it was okay to be yourself and let everyone love you as you are, faults and all.
Akala ko okay lang na ipakita sa kanila ang totoong ikaw. Na okay lang to bare your soul sa taong akala mo mapagkakatiwalaan mo.

Pero hindi. It's not okay. Sa una siguro they will tell you things like they'll accept you as you are. Sa una kaya nilang tanggapin kung sino ka. Kaya nilang dalhin o dumamay kahit kalahati lang ng bigat na iyong dinadala. Pero habang tumatagal, the more you lay yourself bare, they slowly look the other way. Unti-unti silang bibitaw. Unti-unti nilang marerealise na mali pala ang pagtanggap na inukol nila.

Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na they had completely understood that you are not the one they really wanted. Na nagkamali lang pala sila sayo. Na hindi ka pala katanggap-tanggap para sa kanila.

So they leave.
They always leave.
Especially at times when you are too ugly and awful and horrible to go on, at the worst times of your life, that's when the leave you the most because that's when they realize that your flaws are the only thing that makes you you. That your ugliness is the only thing that they see.

People don't actually accept other people that easily. Even if you do it to them, they won't do it for you in return. Unfair, right?

So. No. Letting someone in in your life and letting them know everything about you is never a good idea. People only know how to deceive. You should learn that, too.
