look, i did a friends cut, and its not a big deal. some people i took off because i havent heard from them in a long time, some people i took off because i dont read their journal entries. and some people i removed because i felt like they were a bad influence on me or had a bad spirit on them that i didn't feel like i was ready to be able to deal

I think doing friends cuts on LJ can be taken so harshly... even when it's not intended to. I appreciate your honesty. You hold me in account and make me realize when I sometimes become too caught up in myself and not focused enough on God and what He wants from me. I'm a bit of a liberal at times, and I still like that part of me, but I like how we don't fight, we don't argue, we just talk... and that is the beauty of it all. :) It's good to have you as my LJ friend. :)

its good to hear that from you. i wasn't sure if i was overstepping my boundaries whenever i offered you advice. sometimes im not sure if its my place, you know?

hahahhaha welcome to my life.
everytime i make a friends cut, i get about 14 new people hating me.
livejournal rules.

doesn't that suck? its like its what their lives revolve around so much that they think just cuz i cut them as a livejournal friend i cut them as a real life friend

Right on sister!

Now, I must admit that I'm verrrrry sensitive to overly harsh honesty, but as long as the person is giving me the advice in a caring way, I can take it, and you do that for me. So, thank you. You never ever come off as holier than thou. It's nice that when you give advice, you don't ostracize yourself. I understand that we shouldn't sugar coat things, but when giving advice it's important to express our feelings the way the Lord would, and like I said I feel like you do that. It's extremely important that we hold each other accountable. So, with that said, thank you for looking out for me.

I'm glad you posted this because I've noticed that you have a hard time expressing how you truly feel, but this time you spoke your mind, and I must commend you for it. :)

it really felt good to get it out. its something i've been holding in for a while. its good to know that you think i am a little more gentle than i thought i was.

Isn't it horrible when you do a friends cut and then feel like you should have to explain it to everyone? I've done that in the past, and actually this time, I was just mildly curious. I didn't mean to imply that you did anything wrong, or to make you feel like you had to explain.

But I do want to thank you for the friend you've been to me. You brighten my days at work, and you are always there when I need some advice. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, even when it might make some people upset. You should never be hesitant to express your opinion, and that's something that I wish I was better at.

Love you!

it is!

thank you becky becca rebecca. i used to ALWAYS say what was on my mind and it certainly did get me in trouble from time to time. so over time i started shutting up. and for the longest time i've felt supressed, you know? i mean sometimes i still do speak my mind, but i guess.. because its so bottled up, i get so frustrated, and then the way it comes out is really mean or harsh. and there are some people who i think need to be told like it is, but when is it my place? something to pray about, i guess!

honesty is a beautiful thing which doesn't get nearly enough props as it deserves.
it makes me sad. :(

and yeah...sugarcoating is not good....and neither is sugar!
no more sugar! (starts mad riot)

[less_of_me_]

hey no hating on sugar in my journal.

but yea you're right, when people think of the concept of honesty, they're all "yea, thats good, yay honesty" but then once somebody gets honest with them, they don't like it so much anymore. but, "the truth hurts" i guess.
