here's a thought. it occurs to me that i have a distinct distaste for people who won't say what's on their minds, who are willing to cower behind a facade of smiles, just hoping to keep the peace. fuck that. if you can't be honest, even brutally so, then you're a liar. there are only two sides, really. obscuring the truth to save feelings...noble, maybe. but deep down you know the truth, and to hide it from someone. that's cowardice. i propose everyone takes a day and just lay everything out on the table. say what you really feel. it may be refreshing. it may ruin friendships. but here's the thing...if your world is held together by unspoken words then it's really fragile and sooner or later it's going to fall.
there's a flip side to this, the blatant lies that pour out of some people's mouths. you'll lie to hold on to what's not really yours, you'll lie to inflict pain, you'll lie to get your way...that makes me sick. manipulating people's minds to elevate yourself to a supposed higher status. ~shakes her head~ i don't quite know where i'm trying to go with this...and god only knows what a hypocrite i am, because there are things i won't allow myself to say...at least not here. but people, have some dignity. just be honest. it hurts a lot less in the long run. i'm so tired... ~slinks off to bed~
