ignorance is bliss

today, i went to the park with one of my friends which isn't anything unusual for us and is practically our favorite pastime. i mean, sitting around in good weather and talking for hours, is what we do best. we share everything...feelings, thoughts, vents...everything. which is why i felt comfortable enough to tell her something that she might not want to hear or like to hear, but she needed to know nonetheless. she ended up getting kind of agitated over it and that led to me getting worked up over the entire situation. also feeling the need to make her feel better and to just drop the situation i all but too quickly regretted bringing up. which leads me to the phrase "ignorance is bliss" or is it? we go through our lives trying to decipher whether being left in the dark in a crappy situation is the best thing or if being let in on the honesty is better. to be straight, i still have no idea, even with my own preference. i like it when people are honest with me, even if it takes me a while to recover from the bluntness or harshness of it. because hey, at least i know right? but then again, maybe there are some things that are just better left unsaid, untouched, and just forgotten. to each its own i guess.
