honesty

kids are the best teachers in honesty. they are EXPERTS. yesterday i was making puppets with kids and one of them asked me for help in making the eyes, i did my best considering i am not the best circle cutter. he looked at them and said nevermind without thinking about it twice. i laughed and we kept making crafts. kids are soooo wise, they follow their hearts.

i love being honest, the light feeling of speaking truth. i want to purify my mind so much that my thoughts and my word are like stars shining in the night sky. i have realized that many times, i think something will hurt someone and i don't say anything. well i discovered it's all a cover up!!!! it's me not wanting to be vulnerable. kind of avoiding showing who i am, because i lack the confidence to be true to myself.
when i allow myself to be vulnerable, i have the most life changing, transforming and beautiful conversations. some days like today, i woke up with an amazing conversation sharing my life with a wonderful friend. i love when friends are not afraid to call really early, really late and share something deeply about their lives. i was sooo honored that he could trust me that way. being vulnerable pays off by having the most sincere and real friends.
