Hearing from the horse's mouth.

To hear from the horse's mouth is an idiomatic expression that simply means:

To hear it from the person who has direct personal knowledge of it.

What's this blog all about?

The truth.

One thing about the truth is that it mostly comes out into the open, just the same way a pregnancy can't be concealed, the truth can't be hidden for too long.

There are some situations some people find themselves in, mostly as a result of their ugly past experiences. Some might prolly be as a result of the number of body counts, or as a result of the number of abortions they've had. Some might be as a result of murder, deceit, and so much more atrocities you can think of.

It's really hard to tell the truth, especially when we need to tell it to our loved ones or someone we can't bare to be separated from. But while struggling with your conscience, always remember that:

"The truth sets you free."

Have you ever been in a situation whereby you concealed a bad thing in your mind for too long, but after sometime, your conscience just wouldn't let you be, so you spilled and whooah! Do you ever notice how free your mind becomes whenever you've told the truth? It's awesome right?

• The truth is relieving,

• It's stress free.

• It might start off on the bad side, but trust me it heals.

• The truth isn't hidden for too long.

• It saves you from constant pains and regrets.

• It also saves from blackmails.

But...in the end.

It's always best when the truth comes from you and not anyone else.

Most people are so scared to face their past, some people's past still hunts them even after they've tied the knots.

That's when you'll see their past boyfriend who had done one or two things with them; coming back to hunt down their happiness.

People fall into a more deeper sin, just by trying to hide the truth.

A short dialogue.

Helena: Zach, I can't do this, you know I'm now a married woman, I can't meet up with you, especially not in an hotel, I just can't.

Zach: I'm giving you 24hours Helena, 24hours to make up your mind, else your pretty little husband would find out about how many abortions you've had.

Helena: (sobs) why do you keep doing this Zach?, Okay fine, I'll come, text me the address, but please let this be the last time. I can't continue doing this please, name your price, I'll pay you any amount. Just stay away from my family please.

One thing about Helena's past is that; it'll keep coming back to hunt her if she lets it, the only way Helena could have conquered her past is by telling her husband. Dropping the bombshell directly from her mouth.

It would still be hard, but it's always better if you are the one they hear it from an not anyone else.

It's always best if they hear it from you first, it makes them heal faster. It might take some time, but they'll be more grateful to have heard it from you and not anyone else.

Gregory is filled with tears, while Helena Is on her kneels, begging.

Helena: I'm so sorry Greg, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you, I was too ashamed of my past. I just couldn't fathom what would happen to our lovely marriage if I had spilled, please forgive me Greg. I'm really sorry. (Sobs).

Greg: You should have told me!! You should have told me Helena, do you know how I felt when I heard it from someone else?. So my wife keeps secrets from me, I had to hear it from another person. You should have told me!!!! (Walks away, enters his car and drives off).

Helena: (painfully screams after him) I didn't want to loose you!!!!! Oh no!! Greg!!! No no no, I hate you so much Zach! I hate you!!!... (Sobs) Greg!!!!.

Lights fade out.

Most people feel that telling the truth would make them loose their loved ones, forgetting that no matter how much they try, the truth would still show it's face. It's only a matter of time.

Even if the truth makes them loose their loved ones, it's still always better to take the chances; especially because the truth gives freedom to your conscience.

Even the Bible says:

He who covers his sins shall not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them shall obtain mercy.

Tell the truth, and let that truth be heard from you first and not anyone else. It's always better if it happens this way, than happening the other way around.

Till we meet again in my next article and in yours.
