“The more you tell the truth, the more your life becomes an adventure”.
My favorite psychology professor told me this, and it rings true. I’m autistic, and have an obsession with never saying anything inaccurate or untruthful, even if it’s a common way to phrase things.
I’ve also had a ridiculously interesting bunch of adventures in my life, and it just keeps getting more interesting.
I think that my unwillingness to bend the truth in order to fit in or smooth things over or ignore things, has led to a lot of those adventures happening.
We tend to use lies, as a culture, to stabilize our lives into predictable, known shapes. Once you stop that, it goes off the rails very quickly.
Same here! Life is so much easier if you just tell the truth. This is a great quote.
