What does it mean to be real When I asked whether you value honesty in a woman everyone answered yes 100 chose sincerity directness being genuine But here s what I ve noticed When I actually allow myself to be real unfiltered not trying to be convenient or play the role of the perfect girl it s not always welcomed When I speak my truth without sugarcoating it that s when some people start to pull away So I ask myself Are men truly ready for honesty Or are they just in love with the idea of it Sometimes it feels like being pleasant is easier than being authentic That a comfortable lie is more familiar than raw truth But then what are we to each other Just performances This isn t a complaint It s a reflection Maybe you re one of those who can actually stand in the presence of honesty and not flinch
