I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried.

One of my favorite things about life and people is those moments in life when someone says something nice to you and it sort of sticks with you. I truly believe that it is important to compliment people when you think the compliment and that it shouldn't matter how well you know this person as long as it is true.

I have found that on those occasions when people say something nice to me out of the blue, I appreciate it more. For instance, this week a friend of my roommate who I have met before was over at our house and I came home and we were chatting for a minute when she said, "I like you." It is a simple comment but it was a reminder that I have worth and that I have talents that other people value.

I personally value honesty. So, why do i feel like as a society we build up barriers between ourselves and those around us? Why is it so hard to be honest?

I guess the point is this, I am an honest person and I am pretty blunt about it. So, if I hurt your feelings I am sorry, most likely it was unintentional. I would hope for your forgiveness but it is yours to give. I hope someday that we will be able to communicate openly and freely with each other.
