I tell people what I think and this makes me an asshole.

Some people spend their whole lives lying , drinking, abusing drugs or trying to be something they are not, because "They cannot handle the truth".

Then I come along and shatter the illusion of what people really think about them. When confronted with this reality they have 2 choices either makes excuses and call me an asshole, or call me an asshole and then spend the next few hours thinking about what I am saying and understanding that I am only telling them what I think because I care.

So next time I tell you that you flashed, or that your costume looks like it was bought from a pizzeria that went out of business, or that you wasted your day making excuses, or that the joke you just added to your show is neither original nor funny, or that wearing a tie with cards on it will never advance your career, or that your mom only thinks you are the worlds greatest magician because she also thought you were a “cute baby”.

Please just smile, thank me and whisper “asshole” under your breath as you walk away, because you are afraid to tell me what you think.

Just my thoughts,
