Can we just be honest.

Honesty is difficult.
Sometimes it hurts.
But one thing that hurts worse than honesty, is uncertainties. Being uncertain of someone else's feelings. Being uncertain when a person starts acting differently. Being uncertain when you're not sure what's going on between you and someone. Being uncertain when suddenly someone stops talking to you. We're all cowards, we can't talk about our feelings. We can't tell people the truth.  Because, real communication doesn't exist anymore. Slowly people just drift away. Little by little we stop replying to text messages, we stop answering every phone call. We don't follow through with hanging out with people when we say we would. We give excuses.
And people wonder why, but honesty is difficult.
It's hard to say "I don't like you anymore." or, "I like someone else."
It's hard for people to admit they're seeing other people too.
It's hard for people to say "I have feelings for you."
Because we're all afraid of hurting; It doesn't matter if we are getting hurt or hurting others.

Courage is confronting people. Courage is telling someone how you feel. Courage is being upfront about your expectations.

We all expect people to be honest with us, but how often are we honest with others.

Telling the truth isn't easy, but it's freedom.
When you tell someone how you feel, you lift weight off your heart.
When you tell someone why you aren't aren't interested, you release guilt.
When you explain to someone what you're truly looking for you cut out the risk of hurt.

Lies hurt worse.
