When You're The Blunt Friend

It is not as easy as everyone says it is.

When You're The Blunt Friend
KT Taylor

Hi, I am KT and I am the blunt friend. The one who tells it like it is and values honesty.

Now I know most people have seen the articles or lists about how someone is grateful for their blunt friend. Well, here is the story from the blunt side of the friendship. It is not as easy as everyone says it is. As the blunt friend, I have to tell some of the people that I love the most what everyone else is thinking and that can be hard.

I am not a person that enjoys hurting others' feelings or making them feel uncomfortable, for that matter. As the blunt friend, my job is hard, but also the most appreciated, I feel. Anyone who has ever met me will tell you that I am extremely honest, and, for the most part, I warn people about it. I tell people because I do not want to hurt their feelings, but it does not always work out that way.

As your blunt friend, our main goal is to help you out in the long run. Why would we want you to go on without knowing that shirt may not look good? Or if we are tired of seeing you thot around at night and we let you know, it is because we know you are so much better than that. As the blunt friend, we know you. We know what you are capable of and we know your accomplishments, therefore we do not want, and will not let you, sell yourself short. We love you and we care, we just have a different way of telling you things, and sometimes they are not warm and fluffy.

Lastly, here is my apology. I apologize if I have ever hurt your feelings, that was not my intention. I am sorry if you felt I was out of place for stating my opinion. I am sorry if you feel like what I said did not help you (or so you thought), but just know that I do in fact love you, no matter how "mean" I am.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
