No legacy is so rich as honesty.

— William Shakespeare

I think I try to practice this everyday. Far from perfect, but I do try. If it's one thing I want to be known for, it's being honest and kind.

But, hey, it's a tough world, and sometimes you gotta show your claws. Smh.

I'm more honest with myself than I see anyone else being with themselves. I do a lot of shadow work, which requires complete honesty and vulnerability. It's the only way to grow through my early-childhood trauma issues.

@PhoenixPhail sounds impressive. Good for you. I'd love to be that aware. But, you know, when you're too aware and think too much ...

@Umile It IS good to stop thinking sometimes. That's what meditation is for.

It's good to be aware of your thoughts. It's the only way you can direct them so you can change your behaviors. Otherwise, you'll resort to default behaviors.

@PhoenixPhail Kind of makes sense.
