Emerson Day 5

So it is Day 5 of the Emerson assignment and I am more than half way done with this thing. Yay....? Today, for some reason, was particularly difficult. I am not quite sure why, but I found myself holding back unintentionally and then noticing myself holding back and almost forcing the words out. It was super weird. I also spent the majority of the day in New York City, but I am now back home sweet home! I found myself contemplating how odd the assignment was and then why I seemed to be having such an easy time with it. The simple answer to this would be that I am naturally honest with people...but is that really it? I guess I must have been taught that "honesty is the best policy" so that I would not have to think about it. However, I am also human and therefore, like most other humans, I lie so that could not possibly be just it. The more I began to think it made sense: being honest with others means being honest with yourself. Some people have it in their nature that they subconsciously beat down negative thoughts and say more positive things. That is not to say that I am positive all the time, but most people do not speak their minds for fear of hurting others or themselves. However, it still counts as speaking your mind if you think positively and spew those positive thoughts. This may be my answer.
