I just want to update the world on how I feel today. I had a talk with my friend last night about how I felt about the way things went down versus how she felt about being a blog subject. I got an honest answer. Definitely not an answer that I wanted to hear in any way. But I got an honest answer. And honestly, even though I got little sleep last night and heard very little in the way of "wanting to hear", I feel great. Why's that? Because THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
Obviously, this is a common theme with how I've lived my life thus far. I don't like lies. But even though I would much rather have heard the opposite of what I did hear, I'm SO glad that I heard the truth. I already feel better about myself and growth opportunities that I will have. My life just all of a sudden doesn't seem so bad. Because someone I think that I know pretty well and knows me pretty well, told me the truth. That is my challenge to you. Be honest. Do not try to protect someone's feelings because you think they can't take it, or you think that they might get hurt. Do it because it needs to be done. Give yourself the courage to do this. I promise you, from this example and countless others. The TRUTH will set you free. Not partial truth or mostly truth. The absolute truth will set you free.
I feel a million times better after only a day. Father, I pray for all the people in my life that need you more than I do. I pray that today, this semester, this year, that things go better for all of us. Because I love them, you love them, and you love me too.
God Bless you All. Thanks for reading. Feedback always appreciated.
Nick
