For as long as I can remember, honesty has been a really important part of my life. I have always stressed the importance of honesty to anyone I thought might be a big part of my life. I try to make myself as clear as possible.

Fool me once, shame on both of us but I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

For someone who claims they love humans a lot, I sure am afraid of trusting anyone.

You see, I am good at the having compassion and understanding that we all make mistakes. We all say things we don’t mean, we all have done things we should not have done, and we all lie, but as easily as it is for me to forgive someone, it is much much harder to regain any smidgen of trust again.

I do not like being lied to.

Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.

We learn at a young age that honesty is the best policy. We hear the cautionary tale about the boy who cried wolf. Theres a whole story about how the 16th president got the nickname “Honest Abe”.
