I’ve been dishonest lately.
I’ve been dishonest far too many times and with far too many people.
I’ve been dishonest when I’ve remained silent instead of speaking truth.
I lied when I said I understood, yet clearly had no idea what you were going through.
I didn’t tell the truth when I said that I agreed with what you said.
I wanted to tell that person that they are better than that.
I shouldn’t have worried what others might think of me and my opinions.
I could have been truthful when I was asked what I really thought.
I might have helped you to know that you are loved and accepted, and don’t need to look for that in the people around you.
I should have spoken up to challenge that attitude.
I want the courage to share the things that are on my heart more.
I desire to be more authentic and real with those around me.
I long for the opportunity to help you see that there is a better way than the way things are.
I would love to stop being dishonest…

Love both of your latest posts man. Honest and authentic and with that balance of challenge/inspiring others to act differently. I know I can certainly relate to many of the things shared in this post..

I do not know how to speak and express my feelings or thoughts in a way that will not betray the reality and the faith of so many people and fellow catholics, who love and struggle in this world.

 Friends will also be there with you when you want to share your hopes for the future, or even something great that has just happened to you.

Maybe it†s what happens when you look at a room of 14 other people who are tirelessly striving towards a common goal and realize that you don†t want to be the one that lets them down.
