Honesty is such a bitch. Honestly.

I spent so much of my university years wondering how to be as honest as other people, especially in relationships. How was Rami so blanatly honest with her partner? Was that the key to staying together for so long? Shit, if true honesty was the key… I was in trouble. Being honest with yourself in front of someone else is harder than acting in King Lear.
