Prison Break (Not-the-awful-tv show version)

Clarity. Transparency. Absolution.

In my life, all of those words (independent or combined) carry a hell of a lot more weight than simply getting what you want. The unfortunate part about this life is that there are times when your personal growth and all the absolutions that are required in order to progress are often contingent upon another individual. Sometimes even when we find ourselves so immersed and enthralled with another human, we never stop to question if we trust them enough to give us what we need at any given moment. Are they strong enough to tell us what we need to know - not what we want to hear? I'm sure you know a lot of people you can trust to answer a distressed call, but how many will never show up on the side of the road with a can of fix-a-flat when you really need a whole new tire?

And because I can't be completely deep and serious all the time - enjoy some Chi City:

...just then a tire-truck drives by. Fortunately, they don't have any motorcycle wheels.
