Have you ever called people sketchy before? What made you call them that? Is it because they hide absolutely anything and everything they do? If they were open about it, would you still call them sketchy? Of course not.

If you're going to do something, then f*cking do it and own up to it. Otherwise, what's the point of even doing it? If you feel as if you need to hide whatever the hell it is you're up to, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

Sound simple? Of course it does, but most people are so insecure that they feel as if they must hide parts of themselves.

To those people, I ask you this — is this how you want to go about living your life? How can you be confident in yourself if you can't even accept what it is you are doing?

The answer is you really can't.  You are a representation of every decision you have ever made, and until you're ready to own up to these decisions, it seems virtually impossible to live a life of honesty.

This is your life, and these are your choices — you should embrace every single aspect of it. You should feel confident enough to shout these choices from the rooftops because this is who you are.

If you aren't happy with the choices you are making, it's really never too late to change them. No one can use your past against you if you learn from it, embrace it and make the changes you want to make.

No one will judge you for this. In fact, people will commend you for the immense progress you have made.

As long as you own up to things you have done, you really can get away with anything. Taking responsibility for your actions is a huge indicator of maturity and adulthood.

So what do some of those situations actually look like when applied to real life?

1. If there's something you want to do, then no one can make you feel bad for it.
