My office colleague cum friend asked me last Saturday to accompany her to our client's wedding party.
Since I usually avoid public gatherings altogether, I told her I had to attend my neighbour's wedding reception the same day at xx venue. She was disappointed she’d have to go alone, and I reassured her she’d be just fine.
Today, out of nowhere, she asked me to accompany her to another wedding. I was so buried in work that I basically answered on autopilot and told her I had to attend my neighbour's engagement celebration. She asked for the venue, offering to drop me if needed. And I, without thinking, mentioned the same venue as last time.
She went so quiet that I finally looked up and saw her rolling her eyes… and that’s when I realized I had completely screwed up my own lie and probably this friendship too. ;)
But she burst out laughing & googled a Sadhguru quote, "...today lies are mainstream, truth is a fringe phenomenon". 😅
I often keep sharing his wisdom quotes with her. Today it was her turn hahaaa.
TL;DR:
I refused to accompany my colleague to a client's party on the pretext of going elsewhere for a neighbour's reception party. Today when she asked me to accompany her elsewhere I refused mentioning the same location to attend a neighbour's engagement.
Lying can often leave you red in the face ;) Try it only if your memory supports. Lol.
