An observation:

“How honest can you be?”

is less about truth

and more about sensitivity.

We are like onions.

How deeply can you connect with your deepest longing?
Will you let yourself cry?

Also known as,

How real can you be?

How little can you hide?

affronted —

I am real and raw and lying.

This is your daily reminder that you matter.

I want to live like I’m dying because we all are. We are born dying.

We die trying. We live crying. We cry laughing. Happy tears. Happysad. This is existence. And there is no place I’d rather be but here.
