A Small Lie...
Anonymous Wild Outlaw #144 · General
I'm Alex, a personal trainer who recently went through a divorce. It was tough, but I've been trying to stay focused on my career and fitness goals. A few weeks ago, something small happened that's been eating at me ever since.... One day, a new client signed up for a series of sessions with me. She seemed eager to start her journey towards better health. The first session went well, but I had one of those days where everything is off, early wake-up, traffic jams, missed calls... When we met, she asked about my availability and if I could fit in another session next week.... I said yes, even though my schedule was full. That's when I remembered something, a big event on the calendar that same week. But I lied and told her it would work out fine.... Now, a part of me feels guilty for promising something I knew I couldn't deliver. It wasn't a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but the small act of deception has been weighing on my conscience ever since...
