Honesty is important, because, sometimes, a person just wants to know that someone gets it, that someone knows what it is like to feel hopeless or sad or broken or clueless or confused. It’s like a hug to the heart. i know that i do. It breaks my heart when i share my concerns and someone’s response is to yell at me, scold me, or to preach at me. i’m just a human being. i don’t have it all figured out.

It’s okay to be weak. When we admit our weaknesses together, that is where things start, and we can move on together and do something about it because we can’t do anything on our own. We need each other.
