Being too positive constantly is an excuse to avoid being honest. Tell me what the fuck I need to hear even if I hiss and the hair stands up on the back of my neck.

Don’t sugar coat shit with your spiritual jargon when someone’s standing in the middle of a fire and can’t see clearly. Sometimes it’s necessary to shed light in the darkness because when we’re in the middle of a challenge, we can become blinded. Throwing your hands up in the air with some quote written by a dead poet is a fucking cop-out. I crave authentic people around me. People who challenge and inspire me by living in such a way that makes others uncomfortable due to their transparency in life – because shit isn’t always sunshine and sprinkle cupcakes.

Get real in all the glory and goRe that makes this human experience so fucking RAW. I want you to tell me something that’s going to make me uncomfortable or consider something I wasn’t even privy to right then. It is only there that I expand. When shit is uncomfortable and shakes my fragile ego out of its four-walled chamber and rattles my cage loose!
