If you need to express a problem to someone you love, 

or to a third party who is aiming to help you through it,

 don't sugarcoat the truth. 

If you do, you will be right

 back where you started - with a problem that you don't

 want to deal with. 

But if you bite the bullet and say what 

needs to be said, you will get it all out in the open. 

And a funny thing happens when the truth comes to light

 - it becomes less intimidating and less frightening. 

So speak the truth, and when it sees the light of day, 

you will also see a light at the end of the tunnel.
