A Small Truth


One thing I've discovered about honesty is that it really pisses people off.

I suppose an important life skill to have would be to know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how exactly to say it in order to not offend anyone. Then again, living like that would be a bit ridiculous. In fact, there's probably something really wrong if everybody likes you.

Take Jesus, for instance. He was the only perfect person ever to have set foot on earth, and most everybody ended up hating him.

The long and short of what I am trying to say is: Life is confusing; Humanity doubly so.

But what would life be without all the weird stuff? It wouldn't be much, that's for certain.

Goodnight, readers.

I've read your blog and am pleased to see you're back to writing. You have a magic with words... I'm fascinated by the large family too. Sorry about the broken heart. It seems hard to believe when you're in the midst of it, but time really does dull the pain.

My heart is not broken, but it has undergone a small beating. I suppose that's life; without such things would any of us be truly alive in the first place?

All sentimental metaphor set aside, thanks for the love. It means more to me than you probably think it does.

Always,
Emily
