Its hard to be honest with friends at time... whilst friends very often just want to be candid and honest with me, but at times, the listener find it hard to accept the truth. Maybe its just hard to come to terms with the truth, maybe its easier to live in my own bubble? Is it better to just cushion the truth or be honest with your friend? I dunno.....
I met with a friend for coffee today. It was supposed to be a day where we just gossip and I try not to think about the emptiness that I have to deal with. But it turned out to be a session where she persuaded me to move to HK, telling me I shouldn have to sacrifice my marriage to build my career. I never thought of climbing high - the corporate ladder. I just thought of letting B settle down first and then see how things go from there. I thought we weathered the long distance romance for 3 years, whats another couple of months to go? But the other comments I got were not cotton candied coated for my listening pleasure. So I find it hard to swallow.
Its hard to be honest with a friend at times, its also hard for the listener to accept the honest facts with a pinch of salt and still love the friend after that.
