"On the Real" (Honesty...the best policy)

Is honesty really the best policy? This semester has led me to believe that it is. I have always thought of myself as an honest person when it comes to things in general. Unfornately when it comes to my true feelings, being able to fully express what I need, I have not been completely honest with myself or others. I know what I want and sometimes I expect others to know what I want to but that is impossible unless I speak up. So now is the time for me to speak up because if I don't...well who knows but I just want to get this off my chest. I always thought that I could keep my feelings trapped inside and turn them on and off as I please but I have quickly learned that this is not the case. Keeping feelings bottled up inside only makes you want to explode. And even if those feelings aren't reciprocated at least you can rest easy knowing that you did your part. All I feel is regret everytime I have the chance to say (or do) something but I don't so from now on honesty will be my policy. ;-D

Here is the song to go along with this blog entry (I almost forgot about this song):
"Time" by: Musiq Soulchild
[Verse 1]I'd like to take a minute to apologizeFor not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeahI finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeahAnd reason and I've learned that
[Chorus]Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
[Verse 2]I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things thatI regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know nowI can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and doneI can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
[Bridge]I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothingI probably never be penniless or hopeless.
[Verse 3]So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is trueThat you are of the essence
Down to the very last secondAnd I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you
