Truth or Dare? Remember that game. Well, sometimes the dare was way easier than the truth…

“Tell all the truth, but tell it slant–” – Emily Dickinson

Taken from one of her poems, here she explains that the truth is so dazzling and bright it will blind a man if it isn’t gradually told.  I like this quote.  It brings many thoughts to my mind.  We need to keep some of our secrets.  We need not tell all about our reasons for leaving a marriage.  People will certainly ask.

…Yes, YOU, not everyone else

  Some people will ‘demand’ an explanation, still, tell it slant.  Protect your kernel of truth.  It is yours to discover and decipher.  It is not necessarily meant to be shared with everyone in your circle.  Understanding this will allow you to stay strong and believe in your goals without explaining everything to everyone.

What would you choose, truth or dare?
