I think that we, as a society, sugar coat things too much. Sometimes people need to hear the honest truth. I like to know how people feel about me or things I've done-- good or bad. Yep, people avoid saying what they really feel because they don't want to hurt feelings or offend someone... but I'd much rather have to deal with a bruised ego for a bit than find out months later that someone said something nasty about something I'd done or about me. Here's the thing: people always find out things you've said about them. Always.
I think it's rare that we hear the truth.
Today, I heard some truth. It's not the easiest thing to take-- definitely bruised by it all. But I'm so thankful that I have a friend who was willing to tell it to me. That's a true mark of someone who cares-- it's not always easy being a straight shooter.
