As I was riding in the car the other day, I began to think about a conversation I had with some friends, when I jokingly said: “the truth will set you free.” In this day in age, people are always saying how you have to “keep it real” or “keepin it 100”. Sometimes there is a level of truth that we don’t necessarily want to accept.
