Don't you think

that some of our greatest strengths can also be some of our biggest weaknesses? Honest and open can be, well, too honest and open for some situations. Quick wit is great in just the right dose but a hinderance when a person's not reading the situation right. "Colorful and entertaining" rides the line of "dramatic and over the top" in the wrong setting.

I'm inquisitive
I'm black and white
I'm passionate

Are these strengths or weaknesses? I suppose it depends on the day.










It makes a person think.



"I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them" (Ether 12:27)

I couldn't agree more. I always wonder how some of the things that draw me to people are the same things that can be so off putting. I suppose it depends on the situation. But it's good to keep in mind that it goes both ways and they may be feeling the same way about me. I suppose I am just happy that we all choose to stay friends and forgive the weaknesses.
