I made a wrong decision.
I knew in my gut
that it was a mistake
but I needed someone
to tell me this,
to confirm my gut.
Many people wouldn’t.
They made half-hearted comments
like “It’ll work out”
and “Your reasoning is sound.”
They either didn’t care
or they didn’t have the guts
to tell me I f*cked up.
Thankfully,
I have THAT friend.
You know the one.
She tells everyone
exactly what she’s thinking,
no filter.
She told me
I was being a dumb a$$
and listed all of the reasons
why
my decision was dumb.
These ‘truth tellers’
aren’t the most comfortable people
to be around.
We also don’t always
agree with them.
But we NEED them,
especially if we want
to make better decisions.
Don’t silence the truth tellers.
Value them.
