Ok, so if you don't want to hear what I have to say, then please, please, please don't ask.
I take value in the fact that I am "that friend" (and we all have one or two) who will tell you the truth no matter what.
Running the risk of hurting your feel goods momentarily, sounds far better than allowing some random person to hurt them permanently. Girl, people are mean so if I am thinking it (and I love you) can you imagine what the people who don't know you, love you, or care about you are thinking?
I know, I know, who cares what other people think right? Absolutely! I agree! Unfortunately we live in an extremely judgemental world and while I have gotten so good at not passing judgement, not everyone can be so diligent. It's human nature.
I am not the bitch I am made out to be. My tongue may sting a bit but in the end I will support your every decision, regardless of what I think.
Case in point...
Friend: "Does my ass look big in this?"
Me: "Yes!"
Friend: *GASP*
Me: "Does it mean that should you decide to move forward with the opposing outfit that I won't shake my ass with you on the dance floor of our favorite bar? Absolutely not! Let's do this!"

So a couple of days ago a friend asked me what I thought about her relationship predicament (she has recently declared Lesbianism and is finding it a little harder to navigate than she thought) and so I told her the truth based on what she has told me and things I have seen with my own eyes.
Needless to say, she didn't like it too much and refuses to believe what I told her even though what I said would happen, has happened and continues to happen.
Friends, it's just not in my nature to sugar coat anything. Therefore, for the sake of losing myself just to lie to you, I will continue to let my tongue speak the truth as I hear it in my head. Apologize for it?
I will not.
Note: Ok, so I will compromise and lie to you if that's what you would prefer, I don't like it particularly, but am not to good to do it. All I ask is that you make sure you tell me that's what you need before you ask for my five cents (I believe my opinion is worth more than two cents therefore I have marked it up, well that and partly due to inflation. F*ck this economy!)



Speaking of saying what's on our minds....what's with the censored f bombs?!
ReplyDeleteI hate having a filter...it's a pain sometimes...but on the other hand, I wish some people would have more of a filter.
That being said, if I need to know if my ass looks fat, I'll ask you. ...and if I'd rather not know, I won't even bring it up. =)
Honestly, the censorship is due largely to my mother. She reads this and hates that I say that word, so, respectfully, I changed the word up a little bit.
ReplyDeleteSomehow the * gives her the "illusion" that it doesn't actually say FUCK so the doesnt nag me about it so much.
Win Win situation for all!
