[The handwriting for this particular entry is far neater than what is usually seen in the journals: a strong, tidy hand, though it may look rather unusual to anyone not from Efinea.
He'd almost filtered it before realizing that doing so would be going against what he was working on at the moment, so instead he leaves it open to be seen by all.]
To those of you who have ever sought a way to stop something you weren't always aware you were doing, how did you go about doing so? More specifically, I would like suggestions on how to be more honest, both with myself and with others.
[Richard hasn't been spending much time at home lately, so today, like most of the days before it, he'll be out for a walk in the snow, seemingly lost in thought as he just wanders through the village and out a ways into the forest before heading back once it starts to get dark. He'll pause outside of House 28, though, lingering for a moment as if deciding whether or not to knock on the door. The residents there might catch him doing so; he's not being very subtle about it.
Later that evening, housemates will find him fast asleep on the couch, a book open in his lap and a cup of tea going cold on the side table. He might be starting to tilt over, too...]

First of all, you're going to have to learn to recognize whenever you're doing this. You're going to have to force yourself to stop, step back, and think about what it is you're you're actually saying and doing, and if it's truly what you're feeling. Perhaps all the time. Since this is honesty we're talking about, the only one that's going to be able to truly tell when you're lying, is you.
[Written] LJ why did you eat this the first time
I think the process of learning to tell when I am not being completely honest will be perhaps the most difficult part. I often say things without ever considering whether or not they are my true feelings; you're right, I'm going to need to start thinking before I speak where matters such as that are concerned.
[Written] LJ is mean. D:
... Do you know why it is you aren't completely honest? You may be able to start from there.
[Written] It isssss
Because I'm afraid of being hurt by doing so.
