I believe that it is important to be honest about myself. I don’t just mean that I tell the truth when someone asks me a question about myself. I mean that I think it’s important that I am open about who I am, what I’ve been through, what I believe and what I dream about. In my opinion, this is the only way that people can get to know the real me and that I can form any kind of real friendships and connections with others. I consider my relationships with others to be the most important thing in my life so it is really important to me to get the hang of this whole being open and honest thing.

It’s not always easy. You see, I’ve had a bit of a tough life. I’ve landed myself into some hot water here and there. I spent some time in a Florida drug rehab center for an addiction problem that I was having with alcohol. Those days are behind me now, far behind me, but I still worry sometimes what people will think when I tell them about it. I’m afraid that they’ll have negative assumptions about alcohol treatment centers or Florida itself even. But I tell them anyway because I’ve learned that most people will accept me as I am and the ones who won’t are not the ones who I want to be my friends.
