Oh the secrets we are hiding trying to forget , but all those injuries we never can forgive.
ReplyDeleteYes.. always difficult when the question is lie with no truth of answer to ever come lie as truth..:)
ReplyDeleteThis made me think how easy it is for us to justify being false, and go back and put the blame on others.
