489 Entries for “honest”

  1. Not many people are truly honest. I don’t think honest people tell others that they’re honest. You can’t really claim to be honest, you know? It’s something that other people gather about you from being around you. Others can see you as honest, but you can’t really see yourself as honest, honestly.

  2. Honesty is such a lonely word. Why do the song say that? I think it is the noblest word when lived up to– for the courage to face the truth, and the integrity to operate on non-deceit. I like honesty. Let me rephrase that, I cannot deal with no honesty. Honesty is my benchmarking tool.

  3. Many people can be honest and true to what they believe in life, but there are many that will not be. The best someone can hope to do, is to live life believing people are being honest with you and with themselves, and to only return the favour. Many mistakes can be made.

  4. Lots of people are honest. I feel like I don’t have enough time to be honest about things that I want to shout to the world. As you get older you have to keep so many things inside because they’re taboo or would hurt someone else. Why? I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I want to tell them everything. i want to tell the world everything and not have to keep it a secret.

  5. Honesty is a beautiful thing. It has helped shape our world and move us forward in many ways. Through honesty comes trust, understanding, and companionship. If everyone were honest with one another and could take constructive criticism, the world would be a better place.

  6. Honesty is overrated. Lots of people say that all they want is honesty, but the truth hurts…big time. No one can really handle the pure and simple truth. It’s too raw for them. Everything has to be refined and run through before anyway sees/hears it these days.

  7. Honesty, I threw that out the window ages ago. You don’t get anywhere with honesty. You don’t get what you want with honesty. Lies are the new truths.

  8. I am only honest with those who I love. What is love? Love is the ability to see beyond imperfections and be accepting of flaws. I think, to be accepting of flaws, is to be honest. You are fully aware that those flaws are there, even if it is in your own subconscious state of mind and that is complete and total honesty. To be honest with yourself is the best kind of love, self-love.

  9. What does it mean to be honest? To be truthful, to face the facts and admit to them in spite of everything. Facing adversity, refusing to hold back; to admit to your true identity. I think that is what honesty is. To be fully aware of your own self and not to be self-conscious or have anything hidden away in your subconscious.

  10. She closed her eyes, burning against her eyelids. Her throat was choking her and stomach muscles clenched her insides. It felt like her very body was betraying her. But this was the price to pay for truth. She had to tell them.

  11. It’s what everyone says you should do, what everyone tells you, yet no one follows. So-called white lies, not dark enough for anyone to notice, yet still there, impure, themselves dishonest.

  12. Nobody’s that honest anymore, to be honest. I mean even Abraham lincoln had to lie sometimes. The hardest thing though, is to be honest with yourself. Once you tell a lie so big everyone believes it, you’ll believe it too.

  13. people really need to learn to be honest to get anywhere in life. Honestly after all is the best policy. If you are not honest with people then it can really get you into a whole lot of trouble because lying is not the way to go. So whenever you are going to lie just think instead and tell the truth, be honest.

  14. I try to be honest. Honest with my family, my friends, but dammit, i can’t be honest with myself. I try to act like I’m okay, like everything is cool. All i want to avoid is the cliche teen angst that calls to every American teenager

  15. i think everyone can be honest, yet most of us choose not to be. most people are lazy and lying is easier than being honest. if i were more honest of a person my life would be absolutely different. im honest like 15% of the time.
    which is depressing

  16. Honesty is vitally important in our lives. If we were not honest with each other, where would we be? Honesty has helped move and shape our lives. It also strengthens the bonds of friendships. Honesty is vitally important no matter what we may

  17. It was an honest mistake, she really did look thirteen….

  18. She was honest. Not that she wasn’t fair, or beautiful, or all of those other traits one looks for in a woman, but she was, in particular, honest. And that was something I could respect.

  19. To be honest, that is an awesome decision. One that most people never make. A difficult decision to be sure, and one with extravagant repercussions.

  20. honesty entails the truth and integrity. it’s a quality that’s expected in friendships and it’s a quality that should be upheld by all members of society. to be honest, is to be a moral and ethical person. without honesty, our society would fall apart and cease to be peaceful.

  21. It is eleven at night as she makes her way to her destination. A familiar path, her legs know exactly where they are to go. The moon lights the lonely streets of the small town, barley penetrating the shadows enveloping the slumbering neighborhood.

    If she were honest with herself, she would admit how wrong it was. If she were honest with herself, she would turn back home and terminate this once and for all. It would be the right thing to do. But she can’t. She is so weak. She knows this, and he knows this. That is why she keeps on walking down the sidewalk.

    As she nears the crème colored two story house in the corner of Astoria and Flint St, she can feel the excitement mounting. Sure she knows that what they do is not right, but then why does it feel like it is?

    She’s already at the door and before she even has the chance to bend down to retrieve the spare key from the flower pots below, the door opens wide and her dark copper eyes are instantly drawn to the mellow honey ones filling her vision. She gives him a shy smile, one that he returns with a full on grin as he takes her small manicured hand in his larger calloused one and guides her inside his all too familiar home.

    No words are spoken as one by one, they climb the stairs, hands still holding, and walking the short distance to his bedroom. Her heart skips a beat as she is met with the portrait of him and his wife, her best friend, smiling happily and seemingly madly, deeply in love with no one but each other.

    They never talk about it; it’s one of their unspoken rules. It makes things less complicated that way. She can’t remember exactly when it was that things started. One day they just found themselves making out inside a closet during a get together at a mutual friend’s house, feeling each other up, devouring their faces like ravenous horny teenagers, and the rest is history.

    If she were honest with herself, she would admit that she has always been in love with him. Since they were kids, she had fallen for him, hard, but unfortunately for her he had fallen for her best friend. Her perfect, beautiful, kind hearted friend who deserved more than this from the two people she trusted more in the world.

    But in the game of love, anything goes. One bears their true colors and heartbreak is inevitable.

    Susanne closes the door behind her, exhausted from her business trip to Chicago. She was supposed to get back in two days but meetings were canceled and moved around resulting in early dismissal.

    Tired and sleepy, she ascends the stairs, taking off one heel after the other, careful not to make noise and wake up her husband of six years. She smiles to herself, thinking of the last conversation they had before her trip. They are finally ready to have children and the thought of it makes her giddy with happiness. It is the last thing she needs in her life to be truly happy, a magical little piece of herself and the love of her life, Trent.

    Fate however, has other plans for as she grabs the door handle and opens the door she is met with a vision straight out of a Hollywood movie. Instant denial turns into inevitable betrayal in less than two seconds as yet another innocent heart is shattered, victim of the sin of the ones she thought she trusted the most. The two lovers entangled in the tryst of passion immediately stop, caught in their perverse rendezvous. No words are spoken between the three protagonists, as the curtains close on another episode of an unnamed ongoing soap opera.

  22. Honestly I don’t know how to phrase it… I will try to be honest. It is the honest truth. I was totally honest.

  23. Honestly seems to be a hard concept for some- for her.

    Lying comes naturally. The words slip in and out of her mouth like thoughts.They fall into everyday conversation with her, and no one realizes that the things she’s saying? They’re not at all true.

    That’s because she’s good. She’s good at lying; at being a fraud.

    What she’s not so good at, is being honest.

  24. honest. it is a difficult word because it presents a difficult concept. everyone talks about being honest and honesty as if it is easy. “just be honest!” someone will say – as if it is the easiest thing in the world. I think that though honesty may be difficult at times, it is always better. it will lead to more happiness in the long run. no hidden deep dark secrets that you always panic a certain someone will find out about, no always wondering if you should have told someone the truth about how you feel, no feeling guilty that you were not truthful. Be honest to your family. Be honest to friends. Be honest in relationships. Just be honest in life. The word is simple, the concept is hard. But if you give honesty an honest try, you will only be rewarded.

  25. Silently i looked,
    into his honest eyes,
    and for a moment,
    a single moment,
    i felt like the world wasn’t burning,
    nothing was crashing,
    and everything was fine.

    Then reality,
    flames,
    darkness ,
    evil.
    i was nothing.

  26. beautiful. loyal. someone who is truthful and is a good person to associate with. always choose the honest person over anyone else. the truth will set you free. you can’t handle the truth…lol. not much else i can say about honesty, most of my friends lack that quality unfortunately.. :/ oh well, hopefully i’ll find better friends in the future who are HONEST.

  27. Why couldn’t you just be honest with me? Instead of trying to protect me, or think of ‘what’s best for me’. How would you know. You hurt me with your lies, and you destroyed a possible future for us. Now we will never know the ending to our story; it’s cut short. It’s all over.

  28. Honestly is not what I wrote.

    by Jennie on 06.30.2011
  29. Honesty is what happens when you can’t lie. Or when you try and fail. Because the real truth scalds your lips like tea when you try to speak it.

  31. sincere, a good quality to have, something that’ll get you through life, something people appreciate, makes you a better person, makes you feel better about something, something only certain people have, you’re strong when you use it, better than lying

  32. to be honest i never really did like you. you were convenient; easily manipulated, and i was able to put you back on the shelf when i was done with you. you were like a toy, played with and then forgotten, but what i never realized was how much you were going to stick with me.

  33. it is given the first time,
    forward without recoil,
    without shaking your voice,
    a smooth gradient,
    opening into.

  34. Honestly I’m not sure what’s going on with us when you put your hand on my leg and I can feel the heat of your fingers through my jeans. And I’m not sure what’s going on with us when you take me out to dinner and refuse to pay the check so it’s like I’m taking myself out for dinner. And I really an not sure what’s going on when you call me “baby, baby, baby, oh” and then laugh and say how stupid those lyrics are.

  35. Honesty is what I give people I care for. Lies are what I give people whose relationship with me I care nothing for. If I find people are unable to take my honesty and are unable to be reasoned with, I will right them off as not being worth my time, subconsciously.

  36. I am a honest person. So honestly, I like you so much but you treat me so poorly don’t even know what I see in you.

  37. what ever human have to have in the life, is the best way to be, this open you every door you want, the magic key for a good live.

  38. He used to be honest to me. Well, that was before I found that letter. But I dont really want to talk about that. And then there’s me. I’ve tried so hard to be as perfect as i can, but I’ve hidden stuff too. I’ve lied…we’ve all lied. I remember when my angel told me that everything would be okay. He told me he loved me too, but that was another lie. Maybe that’s all there is to it. Lies.

  39. i love you

  40. i used to be the president of this thing we called the “not gonna lie club”. obviously our policy was honesty. if i’m thinking about it i guess i’m still the president of it. it’s not like we abolished the club and started lying. honestly. i’m being honest. haha.
