The Truth May Set You Free, but It Can Also Get You in Trouble

It's an interesting time for me right now. My honesty, which was appreciated for so long, with so very few repercussions, has finally turned on me. My honesty and opinions have been so blunt lately that it's really putting me in a weird place. I have at least three people, maybe four, who aren't talking to me (or are arguing with me), because I said what I thought or felt. It really doesn't matter how well intentioned I may be, it always seems to piss people off. I care too much about people and it comes out like I don't.

So, my mind is currently churning out how to heal all these relationships. I could apologize, but I'm not sure what I'd be apologizing for --

My mind goes to Patty Griffin's song "Let Him Fly":

"It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go,
cause it would take an acrobat, and... I already tried all that"
