I find that there will always be a fine line between being tactless and being truthful.
While I've always been a fan of telling things as it is, and not sugar coating anything, sometimes, being tactful is still the way to go.
Being blunt has its limits. Not everything in your head should be voiced out and translated into solid. cold. hard. words. People have feelings too, and mind you, what you think is not always the truth. Sure, we are all entitled to our opinion -- after all, the Philippines is democracy personified; however, there really are some things that should be left unsaid.
Especially when you're only my dad's sister, and the fact that we haven't seen you in years.
or when you're only my dad's first cousin, whose existence only became known to us....YESTERDAY.
And being waaaaaaaaaaaaay older than me, still does not merit you the license to be so blunt about...well, some things that should not be blunt about.
