Far from perfect
Am I.
I can be cruel with words. I can certainly be a blunt instrument in my feedback.
I am not good with fluff. A direct path is my preference rather than a circular route of niceties.
I would rather people be direct and real with me than circumspect. I would certainly prefer to know where I stand than to have people play nice as they sharpen the blade.
I have always wanted to know the truth than be held in delusion.
I have a quick temper and little tolerance for lying, obfuscation and blame.
While these imperfections are very real, they are ones I know about. I am learning to work with them rather than have them work me.
It is those perspectives, actions, behaviours and habits that I am unaware of that interest me.
I cannot change what I do not know.
Friendship for me is to care enough about another to point out blind spots.
Not to tear down, but to enable choice.
