Something I’m proud of is being honest with myself...

Something I’m proud of is being honest with myself and the people who surround me. But being honest with yourself is easier said than done. I feel as though a lot of people assume that because the thoughts are in your head that you have no need to let them out. Saying what you need to say is important. I think it’s also about timing and having the balls to say it. But for me, in the long run…laying it all out on the line is something I will never regret. At moments, it’s hard. Or awkward. Or just makes you feel stupid. But truth is, overall you feel relieved. Being trapped in your own mind isn’t fun. We’re too judgmental of ourselves. But everyone respects the truth. And the more you avoid it… the farther you dig that hole, and the longer it takes to crawl out. But don’t linger. It is what it is. You express yourself, you take what’s being given back, and you move on…whatever the case. You can’t be afraid of your own mind. Why waste that time being afraid of it, and let something new and important pass by? You never know…
