Think Time

Hey, its been a long time since I wrote anything here... Partly because I don't know what to write, partly because I am not sure if I should write what I really feel.. It's kind of complicated, seeing that the my diplomatic side and my blunt side warred so often that I just don't want to comply either of them.
Sometimes I feel that the truth is more important to being tactful, but I don't really want to hurt anyone.. But sometimes the person in question may not be able to sustain the impact, or appreciate the intentions behind the bluntness. However, I also feel that it is good to hold back the emotions involved (anger etc) and edit your words according to the person's EQ level. But I thought it just meaningless to beat about the bush as well as letting feelings get in the way.
It is really hard, sometimes, to look into the reality mirror and look at ourselves, flaws and all, and to appreciate the hard yet sincere truths people around us reflect. In the short run, it may be painful, but in the long time, I believe that it benefits us. Granted, there might be some comments that demean us, but hey, we learnt to get over things like that and emerge a stronger person, yes?
