I like to think that I’m a person who can handle an occasional dose of honesty. 

I appreciate people who can tell it like it is. It means that they aren’t afraid to speak their mind. I like that. Sometimes people who have that quality tend to be labeled “abrasive” or “rude.” A lot of the time, I get along just fine with them. Why? Because my label is”nice.” 

HOW BORING. 

Now, I’d love to believe that everything I do and say is the right thing at the right time, and all my decisions are sound … but the truth is, I am kind of a screw up. I need people in my life who can gently point me back in the right direction if needed. Sometimes it’s hard to hear that you messed up/look like death/are being an idiot, but the worst thing in the world is for the people who love you to let you run amuk without saying a word until it’s too late.

This post is just a general thank you to all the people in my life who put me in my place when I need them to.
