Post 014 "It Wasn’t Your Fault They Lied"

Their truth was never your responsibility.
You carried their words like a weight you never asked for. The lies that cut deeper than any truth could—silent betrayals hidden behind smiles and empty promises. And when the truth finally surfaced, you were left with the pain, the questions, and the unbearable “what ifs.”
But here’s the hardest truth to accept:
It wasn’t your fault.
Their lies belonged to them. Their choices, their fears, their weaknesses—not a reflection of your worth or your love. You did not cause their deception. You did not deserve to be misled.
You may have replayed moments in your mind, wondering what you missed, where you went wrong. You may have blamed yourself for trusting too much or loving too deeply. But the responsibility for honesty always lies with the one who chooses to speak the truth.
You were not the keeper of their integrity. You were the one who gave love freely, hoping for the same in return. And when that trust was broken, it was on them—not you.
This realization is painful but freeing.
You can release the burden of guilt. You can stop carrying the shame that never belonged to you. And you can begin to rebuild, knowing that your value is not diminished by someone else’s dishonesty.
Their truth was theirs to own.
Your healing is yours to claim.
