>> Honesty <<

I believe that honesty is the highest form of respect we can show one another.

I've come to realize in these past few weeks that true peace does not only come when you are truly honest with yourself, but also with everyone around you....everyone.  When you are honest not only with yourself, but with your surroundings as well, you ultimately allow yourself to slowly take down certain walls you've built up.  Whether those walls are there to protect your heart, your mind, your vulnerability, or your soul, it's an amazing relief to discover that these walls are not permanent.  And in these past few weeks I've discovered that the easiest ways to remove them is so much simpler than I'd ever thought.  Honesty.  Pure and simple honesty.

Tell people how you feel.  Whether it's out of frustration, anger, or even love.  Tell them how you feel. Whether or not you get the response you had hoped for, it is an amazing feeling to just let your emotions out into the universe.  Once you've said them, they're out of your hands.  It is fully up to the universe to decide what to do with them, and you, you can just let go.

As cheesy as it may seem I will forever and always quote the infamous John Mayer in saying "say what you need to say" because truly and simply, "it's better to say too much, then never to say what you need to say".

There.  Now go.  Say it, whatever it is, because if it's meant to be, it's meant to be and the universe will figure it's shit out on its own time.  Not your time.  DEFINITELY not your time, but have patience young grasshopper, always have patience.
