I too used to tell a lot of white lies. Now I practice what I've jokingly dubbed “radical honesty”. Unless I feel that it will seriously hurt someone's job or family, I tell the truth. In practicing this, I have found that many people really do prefer the lies, which really kind of saddens me, to be honest.

I really love what you said at the end—I agree that there are different versions of “me” but they will always include tearing up easily whether I am happy or sad, shamelessly rapping along to terrible hip hop and laughing loudly. I think that knowing who you are and staying true to that is so important. Great post, Sydney!
