This isn't about making mistakes. We all make mistakes. This is about people who claim to value certain things but then their actual choices completely contradict what they say they value. And somehow everyone just accepts it? Like hypocrisy is just a normal part of life that we're all supposed to tolerate?

I can't. I won't.

If someone tells me they value honesty and then they lie—even about small things—that tells me everything I need to know. If someone says they believe in integrity but then cuts corners when it's convenient, I notice. If someone says they care about people but treats them poorly, I see it. 💯

The thing that frustrates me the most is when people seem completely unaware of the contradiction. They genuinely don't see that their words and their actions don't match. Or maybe they do see it and they just don't care? Either way, I can't be around it.

I think life is clearer when you decide who you actually are and then you live like that person consistently. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be honest about who you are and what you actually believe—and then actually live it. 🎯

I have more respect for someone who says "I'm selfish" and acts selfish than for someone who claims to be generous while being stingy. At least the first person is honest. At least you know where you stand.

Consistency is underrated. Integrity is underrated. Living what you claim to believe is apparently too much to ask from most people, but I still think it matters. I still think it's the only thing that actually matters.

Is it really so difficult for people to just be honest about who they are? 💛
