honesty

is sometimes harder than running 10 miles, or having to complete 100 lounges in a row, or completing the plank for 2 minutes, or taking an organizational behavior final, or having to present your final thesis in front of your professor. but why? i think most of the time we avoid being honest and pretend that things dont bother us, for fear of expressing our opinions to the other, for the ultimate fear of hurting them. We sometimes aren't honest with others because we want to save them from the pain, from the hurt of the truth.. Ironically in the end we end up hurting them even more when we wanted to achieve the opposite... By hiding the truth and being dishonest, we build fake bridges, fake images that we know the other dont deserve..

but why is it so hard to be honest besides the fear of hurting the other? do we just try to pretend that we are perfect at all times and that nothing ever bothers us? im not perfect, youre not perfect.. but why do we try to be?

we are all broken. we will all be broken at one time and will contunie to hit parts of the road that will challenge and break us again....lets be honest with ourselves and each other,i know that nothing will ever be perfect, and that someone out there will always have it better or have more than me, and thats when I need to be able to stay honest with myself and you, to be able to have a chance to make it. It will make me and you feel better, if we are always honest, even if the honest truth hurts..

We owe it to each other right?

Today I am thankful for the honesty between two beings that share the same heart.
