Watch Now!

Watch this. Watch this right now. These are the kind of things that no one says out loud, but should.

Honesty is lonely.

There are some people in this world who give really good advice. I would consider myself one of these people. 

I'm super critical and I can see things other people can't see. I'm pretty good at intuitively knowing how other people are going to act. If I say something's going to happen, it usually happens. 

I'm pretty good at calling things the way they are. 

I'm a realist. 

The problem is that nobody likes the realists. 

People all too often mistake my honesty for rudeness. People think I'm being unkind when I'm actually just telling it like it is. I get backlash for realism all the time. 

And it's painful. 

People can be extremely unkind. 

So I guess that's also what this blog is for. Saying the things that shouldn't be said out loud because it will do me more harm than good to say it. 

People don't always like the truth and because of that they don't always like the deliverer of the truth. 

So here I am torn somewhere between being my blunt self and trying to not be myself in order to keep friends. 

I know what I would tell someone else in this situation. But I'm too afraid to listen.
