“I used to think honesty lived in the mind.. A principle, a decision, something sharpened by logic. But here’s the catch: when I try to be honest, I notice it asks for more than logic. It asks me to stay real, even when it hurts. It asks the heart to stop editing itself. It urges the soul to stand without disguise. It isn’t a rule one follows. It is a courage one becomes. Its arrival does not announce a victory. Sometimes, it offers nothing in return. It simply lets us meet ourselves.” — Monika Ajay Kaul
I used to think honesty lived in the mind..
A principle, a decision, something sharpened by logic.
But here’s the catch: when I try to be honest,
I notice it asks for more than logic.
It asks me to stay real, even when it hurts.
It asks the heart to stop editing itself.
It urges the soul to stand without disguise.
It isn’t a rule one follows.
It is a courage one becomes.
Its arrival does not announce a victory.
Sometimes, it offers nothing in return.
It simply lets us meet ourselves.
