Dear Truth,
My mom used to call me a liar because I would lie to her about things I did as a child. While I recognize that I should have told the truth, I've come to realize that every child goes through a phase like that, and it is often based on self-preservation. I didn't want to get in trouble so I thought lying about my actions would help.
Consequently, I came to believe that I am a terrible person because of my actions when I was a child. Now I am learning something new about you dear Truth. I'm learning that the things I believe aren't actually true.
I have a hard time listening to you. I know I'm not alone in this, but hopefully I'm getting better as I age. Sometimes you are too much to carry at times, but that doesn't change the fact that you are there.
For the future, I promise to take things one day at a time and try to listen to you more. You are absolutely necessary in my life. I know that you will make me a better person, a stronger person, through all of life's circumstances.
With love,
Chess
