Being truthful to yourself may be a freedom set-free for some of us. At times, even us ourselves are denying and witholding some truth to ourselves- intentionally, purposefully, so that we may live a day as a day, breathe a breath as a breath.

I was reading this article at oprah.com. As u can see from the link's name, its a Oprah Winfrey's web page. Personally, i find her life inspiring.

There is this article that named "The secrets you're not telling yourself" by Martha Beck.

Some abstracts from the article:

<"What we resist persists." The further we withdraw from difficult issues, the more likely they are to spill out. The only way to keep this from happening is to go spelunking in our own forbidden, forbidding depths. >

Consciousness holds only a small fraction of the things we know and feel. Beneath this tidy space lie the subconscious and unconscious levels of thought—cavern systems containing hidden labyrinths and spooky creatures. It's a place most of us avoid, pushing away dark thoughts in a process known as repression.
