"Don't ask questions you're not prepared to hear the answer to." I had the opportunity to be painfully honest with my ex wife about a couple things today. It went far better than I anticipated, and ended with me holding her while she cried and we discussed grace. Life is so fu***ng weird sometimes. She did ask some questions she probably wasn't prepared to hear the answer to, but she's been doing some real work on herself lately, and realized that and then adjusted accordingly. I'm really grateful for that. I'm in a season now where it is absolutely imperative that I'm 100% honest with myself and others. That's kind of my brand, and that's why having some huge secrets that someone so important in my life didn't know about felt like such a heavy weight. She asked the right questions, and I was completely honest. I feel really good right now. I think she does too. The truth can be a real mother fu**er sometimes, but I've never regretted speaking or hearing it, even when it's been a bit painful to do so.
