Here's the truth about the truth. If we were all a little more honest with ourselves, it wouldn't be as painful when we heard it from other people.

Have you looked around lately? There are more muffin-top, camel-toe, wedgie-assed women on the street than hotdog stands! These women need to take a hard look in the mirror, and be honest with themselves. No one knows what size is labeled on the inside of your clothes. Please, for the love of God, buy the bigger size, because we're all a bit tired of looking at the outline of your labia!

If you know someone is going to punch you, should you close your eyes and pretend it's not going to happen? or should you be alert, eyes wide open, ready to defend yourself? I don't know about you, but I'd rather see the punch coming than get hit when I'm not looking. Will I be in pain either way? Yes, but I'll have the band aid ready.

If you yourself fail to recognize the truth, chances are no one else can make you see it either. You could have a giant, flashing sign in front of your face, but if you're not willing to see it, you'll look right past it and say, 'Oh, that must be for someone else'. Pump the breaks and stop lying to yourself.

I think nostalgia takes over when we think about people we once loved, and we tend to pick out all of the good parts. I could very easily sit here and say I still think about the one that got away, but the truth of the matter is that he didn't get away, he walked away...and I'm the girl he walked away from.

Here's the thing about needs and wants...when you want something bad enough, it becomes a necessity. Not because you literally need it to survive; life will go on either way, but because life just doesn't seem complete without it.
