On Honesty
23 November 2006With all the aforementioned developments–saying goodbye to Genelle, getting together with Trish, and the ups & downs involved in this and any new relationship, I’ve been re-evaluating my various bad habits and behaviors and my values and the way I deal with my feelings a lot.
One of the foremost of those values is honesty–one of the most important factors in relationships. More to the point, DIShonesty is especially important, namely, to failed relationships. I never thought I’d have a problem with being honest, always thought that was one of my best qualities. And really, it’s not like I lie through my teeth every chance I get. But… I’m not particularly honest about my feelings. Often, not even with myself. This is probably either one of the causes, or a direct result, of my rather underwhelming dating history–or perhaps a combination of the two.
In lieu of, y’know, regular updates…
21 November 2006Gah! I always do this… I get going with new entries on a semi-frequent basis, and then I just fall off the grid. And this time, it’s not like I can really pull the excuse of “nothing’s ever worth talking about”. Plenty of things, in fact. Hmm… Should I start in order of importance or chronological? I think I’ll tackle old business first.
