thanks to you both for your comments… curt, yes, i consider that all the time, but that’s not the type of work i make: part of the reason some people connect with me as an artist/person is because i’m not afraid of going to the places other people avoid (well, i’m afraid, but i don’t let it stop me). yes, i’ve been bitten for it from time to time, but over all i’d say i’ve gained more than i’ve lost.

devon,
always be true to who you are and maintain your principles to the very end. i have gone through much (sorrow and pain) in my life. my psychologist is amazed no matter what is launched at me, i never waiver from my principles and core beliefs. when he pointed that out to me in one of our recent sessions, i responded by saying that to waiver or modify my principles or core beliefs just to make a situation easier on me would be dishonest and not who i am. my principles and core beliefs define who i am and as i told him, i may not be perfect, but i like the person that i am; after all, god doesn’t make junk and i am a child of god. yes, god even has gay children. devon, always be yourself, you are awesome.

Do you ever feel like being so honest has hurt you more than it’s helped? If so,have you contemplated with just how much of the truth you should reveal? I agree that honesty is the best policy –but nobody ever said providing samples of the truth is worse than disclosing the truth in its entirety; especially if that prevents you from being suseptible to the hurt & pain inflicted onto you by others. Just a thought..
