To be honest

To be honest; I'd rather save a tree than draw a picture.
To be honest; I'd rather love someone than hate someone.
To be honest; I'd rather stand out and stick firmly to my beliefs than blend in with the crowd and have my identity melt away.
To be honest; I'd rather adopt the puppy that was hurt and needs love than the perfect puppy right beside it.
To be honest; I'd rather swim with the Ocean than swim against it.
To be honest; I'd rather write a really good book that stands by everything I believe in than just a pleaser.
To be honest; I'd rather be honest than lie.
