Friends – Sometimes what you write doesn’t make everyone happy. Sometimes you have to write it anyway. Telling the truth is more important than being popular. Being popular doesn’t mean much. Telling the truth? Well, that means everything.

I’m compelled to tell the truth and some will not like it. I don’t much care.
