Honesty

Being a best friend and being a good friend has its significant difference. I didn't realize it until it hit me in the gut recently. A good friend will be there to give you advice but only a best friend will be there to give you the honest truth, whether you like it or not.

A best friend is someone who knows you inside out, and therefore is able to see you better (sometimes) than you can see yourself. And because of that, they are able to tell you the truth about you...but definitely only from their point of view...yes, the truth hurts! nobody say the truth is a bed of roses and smell of perfume. it is bad, hurting and ugly. and a best friend is there to always tell you this, but also bear in mind that they will never leave you alone to discover the real truth or to justify their claim of the truth. 

It is definitely not easy to be a best friend because of the fear surrounding you when you need to tell the truth. but you just have to do what you have to do sometimes...and thus, honesty comes with a risk...it can make or break a relationship, no matter how long or how strong the relationship is.

Honesty is difficult but it is very necessary to sustain a relationship. No matter what, kindness is always the key. Thank you God for giving me a best friend in my life. 

Lord have mercy. Amen.
