Word's Worth.

I do love writing. Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy it because I'm simply in a rush all the time. I actually write in my journal, as mentioned before in a few posts. I usually write in it at school when I don't have a book to read. I just put lots of crazy stuff in there: blog post ideas, random intellectual inspirations, stupid ideas, complaints, my day. Stuff like that! I thought it might be fun to take a little snippet (that's a word, right?) of my journal entries and make a blog post out of them! Obviously it is my personal journal, so I'm gonna censor a lot of things, but you'll still get the main idea. So, here it is I guess! Straight from my journal. Also, I won't change anything I wrote, I just won't add things about boys, and complaints, and stuff that you really won't care about. Let's go.

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." -Thomas Jefferson. 

I saw this quote on the wall of my Elementary school. I always thought it was a cool quote, but I think about it now and it really does have a lot of meaning, more meaning than I knew it had. Obviously it's saying in order to be wise, one must be honest. I've always heard that you can sometimes be too honest, and maybe there is such a thing. There's this Geico commercial (I think it's Geico..) where Abe Lincoln's wife is asking him if a dress made her look fat. He told her maybe a wee-bit. His wife then proceeded to slap him. I don't know about you but I don't really see how that's contributing to your wisdom. Then again, maybe it does. Will his wife thank him later for his continued honesty, event through the occasional slap in the face? Or will she give him a speech on keeping some things to yourself, even if they are true. We'll obviously never know. It could be one of those things that everyone has an opinion about but we still go on with life despite our differences. Wouldn't life be lovely if it really worked like that? I would love to go up to a congressman and say that. That's one of the reasons that I HATE politics. It's just a bunch of people not respecting others' opinions. Gross. And I know, that's the whole point of politics- to get your views out there, but I'm just not a fan. I am thankful for those who are into politics, I'm just not one of those people. Sorry about the whole reel of randomness, it was very off the honesty topic. 

Have a wonderful Friday! 

Just Trust Me.
