i need to vent.

... about honesty.
why in the world is it so hard for people in this world to be honest???
just. plain. honest.
we would have less drama, less trust issues, and better relationships all around.
i mean seriously. think about it friends.
if you are honest- then you have nothing to hide and nothing to put dents in your relationships. whether these relationships are with your friends, your lover, your family, etc. they can all be damaged if you aren't honest and up front about things.

especially if you come from a small town.
everyone knows everything in a small town- i swear it's like protocol to know everything.
and if you ever try to hide something from someone... you're in for it.
because if you don't own up to whatever it is you have been hiding and tell the person that needs to know the most- someone else will.
never underestimate that.

think about it though.
if you are honest about everything in your life, what problems could you possibly have? the people that mean the most to you will know everything there is to know about you. and any time doubts or rumors arise- you won't have a problem not believing that person.
you will address the situation and move the hell on.

if you are honest about things. even if it is the worst thing in the WORLD... telling the truth instead of lying about it and hiding it from that person will only better your relationship.
you're only saving yourself and your loved ones from being hurt in the long run.
it's better to deal with the hurt and the pain now, cherishing the honesty of your friend/boyfriend/relative,
and then move on.
than it is to find out months from now that you had been lied to from the beginning and it turn out that whatever it was, was actually true.
think about it.

and because it's so true...

be honest, that's all i ask.
