Intro., sort of.

Being Strong has always been super important to me. I am the glue that holds my family and friends together. I've taken great pride in this; keeping the peace in my daily life, personally and in my career, has always come naturally to me. Sometimes I tell people what they want to hear, and sometimes I tell them what needs to be said. And with compassion. I'm known for being honest, with family, with friends, with colleagues. So why is it so difficult for me to be honest with myself? When the big questions arise, and emotions are involved, I tend to rely on what have become known as my "easy answers"; those half-truths that still keep me honest with others, but disguise the real truth from myself. Am I that fragile that I cannot handle it? Do I think that the other person involved is that fragile? Or is it something deeper, something darker? A fear, perhaps, of something unknown.
