This week I was scolded by, what I thought was, a friend because of something I said casually in passing. After watching this person mope around and be short with people for days, I told Nuncy (*name changed to protect anonymity*) that she was "cranky".
Call me crazy but, to me, "cranky" is not an insult. I say I'm cranky at least once a week out loud for all to hear. AND, to prove my point, she snapped at me in front of people in an environment not accepting of such childish nonsense, which is Exhibit One that she was, indeed, cranky.
Take a look at any recent reality show. Imagine if "cranky" was the worst insult that was thrown around. Snooki would've fallen on hard times years ago. Teresa would simply be a NJ mother of four poorly dressed little girls. Heather would be rocking her love everywhere...but not on VH1.
Why is it so hard to hear the truth? Is it because we don't want it brought to our attention or because we are so shocked that someone actually has the guts to say it aloud? It's like, if we don't speak it, it doesn't exist...?
Although it's sometimes hard to hear the truth, wouldn't you want someone to tell you something upfront rather than them sugarcoat things and make you believe that things are different? No? Who are you? Fleetwood Mac? "Tell me, tell me, tell me lies. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies..."
