being truthful is much different than begging and pleading

you were truthful
and
you didn't scream at him and beg him to come home or make him feel guilt

you were simply you

no shame there
no problem with being who you are

manipulating
is wrong

real is not

in the standing journey
do not forget that you need to be able to look at yourself in the mirror too
that you need to ask yourself the tough questions
that you need to look back and see that your actions were motivated by love and not selfishness

this was not selfish
this was love

breath
being vulnerable is not being needy
vulnerable is honest
