Honesty

You told me to be honest with you. Just how honest do you expect me to be?

Every time I’m honest with someone I care about I lose another friend because my belief systems don’t mesh with theirs, or they are so shallow they think I’m not good enough for them. I have always been an open minded individual and am willing to accept anything at face value. Even things I don’t believe in I have learned to accept, and that has happened to me a lot lately.

People can’t have relationships anymore without having some stake in them; sexual, spiritual or material. I miss the days when I had friends that would hang around just because they enjoyed my company, not because I had something to give them.

I also think I intimidate people sometimes, but I’m not sure. It’s just a feeling I get. It’s hard to find creative people to communicate with, people seem to think you’re boring or facetious.

Can we really be honest with each other? When there is this fear of the consequences of our honesty hanging over us? Honesty comes with trust. Do you think we’ve come that far in our “friendship?”

Just something I was thinking about.
