HONESTY.

That’s one of the most attractive things in the world to me. Unfortunately it’s something that alot of people lack. And when I say that I don’t just mean outward honesty, or the ability to tell the truth to people. I’m talking about a natural propensity to be honest with YOURSELF. No fronts. No facades. To be perfectly honest though, part of the time it’s not even their fault. They are so immersed in the character that they’re playing (because that’s what it is) that they have no recollection of who they actually are. So I can’t even be mad at that point. Disappointed maybe, but I only have so much room to be.

I asked a girl who she was yesterday and she said, “…outgoing, energetic, friendly”. Those are adjectives. I didn’t ask you to describe a dog. I asked who ARE you. 90% of people can’t tell me that. “Oh, well see, I have to get to know you first.” Bitch, stop. You don’t even know yourself. You’re a representative of yourself. Places like twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. only enable that shit. There’s no accountability - none. Keyboard courage is a fucking virus. And it’s the same in real life. Nobody checks anybody. People just say what they want, claim what they want, and completely detach themselves from who they actually are. It’s like, instead of a surrogate mother, people have surrogate versions of themselves and that surrogate shields them from any kind of hurt, any kind of responsibility and any kind of genuine feeling.

I hate that.
