Please don’t be nice to me

I much prefer kindness

Kindness is
not the same thing
as being nice

Nice
makes you
comfortable

Kind
serves your
best interests

Kind could sting
but nice can destroy us

Kindness is telling the truth in a way that serves. It is generous, centering and supporting its object. It can take the form of praise or correction, warmth or warning.

Please don’t feel the need to be nice to me. I much prefer kindness.
