I would rather be honest with myself, and other people, and say what I think. It is wrong to pretend, and go along with things, just because everyone expects it.

I don't rain on anyone else's parade, each to their own, but I do wish other people would respect the need that MANY people have to be left alone and 'for everyone to be able to do their own thing' over the coming week.
