Honesty

Honesty is something I very highly value. I think honesty in friendships is a must, even when the truth may sting a little. I love getting to the point in a friendship where you can be honest without fear of losing the friendship. That is something I am working on...being completely honest with my friends about how I am feeling. Many times I squelch the desire to be honest with how I am feeling (especially if they are negative feelings) but I think in the long-run that just creates more problems.

Today I was able to get to that honesty point with a friend and it actually ended up solving several problems! I just wish that we hadn't waited so long to talk to each other.

Lesson learned today: Honesty is so refreshing.
