It's been a soul-searching week and I have discovered at least one big thing. I am honest to the point of being sinfully proud. I am so careful to cover every angle that, rather than coming across as sincere and trustworthy, I come across as cagey. My excuses are full of "not that I recall" and "not intentionally". Have I repeated something someone told me? "Not that I recall" (I 'honestly' don't remember every word I've ever said, and I do try not to talk about people, but in reality, some things can be shared with innocence and I truly don't remember.) Have I betrayed a confidence? "Not intentionally". (I have NEVER purposefully or knowingly betrayed a confidence. Have I ever repeated something not thinking, or not realizing that it was MEANT to be confidental? I'm sure I have.) Therefore, I cannot honestly say "No". The problem is that the person asking doesn't know my thought patterns and where I'm coming from, they only hear the vagueness and cageyness. Maybe one of these days I'll just learn to keep my mouth shut and not talk about other people, be it good, bad or indifferent.

Happy Friday!
