THIS IS A TRUTH

I have never wanted to be perfect, nor have I ever wanted to be kind at all costs.

And I don’t believe it’s necessary to be, if the context doesn’t require it. Why should I be, if in that precise moment there is a different need to be expressed?

I look around me: I see people offering courses, words, motivational content, presenting to the world a dissonant façade of kindness — almost exaggerated by the label of “if you don’t do this, you’re not in Love.”

But where are we going?

Where have values like Truth and Frankness gone?

Where is the person who looks you in the eyes and tells you exactly what they truly feel needs to be said?

The more I look around, the more I notice these values fading away — values that should be taught, understood, and practiced from adolescence onward, so that we can truly see, comprehend, and affirm what surrounds us.

Have you ever seen a child not tell the Truth?
