What You See, is What You Get

Transparency

I’m a what you see is what you get type of person. Hence, I become a target of misguided judgement. However, transparency is something many are uncomfortable with especially in this scene.

Simply pointing out untruth doesn’t make one a troublemaker. However, the spin doctors will make it seem as such. Calling out misguided information based on facts is not called “fighting.”

However, let’s not forget those who sit on their throne of “transcendence”—stating how “divided” the community is, but also participate in their own gossip and grievances behind closed doors. They are active in private groups “calling out” these behaviors, but too scared to state it publicly. I am not in these groups. I do not participate in these conversations.

What you see is what you get.

Many times I stay silent, but when the lies become so blatant I speak on it and take the risk few will take to get criticized and ostracized.

I have “friends” who will not publicity like my posts for fear of what it will look like to the peanut gallery. Interesting. But if needed I will actually sit in the trenches with them, because I am not dictated by fear.

When you stand true there is nothing to hide.

There are many facades out there. It takes a discerning mind to filter through it all. I have patience to see it through.

When you have been bullied by gatekeepers at this length, believe me, I know how they work. I’ve observed every calculated move, because I have been victim of their talk and actions. At this point it doesn’t phase me.

Interesting how popular it is to talk politics and domineering leaders like Trump, but yet allow these dynamics to be played out within the community. You see, it’s easy to say the problem is “out there,” yet no strength is given inside.

The house needs to be cleaned inside.

I’m a flawed person. I have so much to work on. This I know for sure. But one thing I am not afraid of is to root out what is in my shadow. We all have light, but we have darkness too. Until we can do the work necessary to expose the dark spots we will always be lost.

Dialogue of uncomfortable conversations is called adulthood. Welcome.
