My family said one of the minor problems they have with me is that I don't know how to tell a "white lie" (which I know is still wrong) in certain situations or on a case-by-case basis where lying is "needed, accepted, or excused."

That was me before, most especially after one incident in 2018. During the lockdown and up until this year where it felt like everyone (most especially my mom) was provoking me, I learned how to tell a "white lie" just to make them stop pushing my buttons.

I pretended my older female maternal cousin sent me a message where she told me she's taking me to America because she feels bad for the way my mom treats me which she found out after reading everything I wrote on my blog.
