I used to genuinely believe that the most important thing in a person is being transparent and honest 100% because I thought it would took so much courage for one to be true both to people and to themselves regardless of the situation. I really like those kind of people even though they are very rare, and I was also proud of myself for being one. But one day, when we were having a very light, spontaneous conversation with one of my best friends, she said "I think the most important thing is... compassion." It was an answer very unexpected for me that I still remember that moment very clearly. I was kind of surprised to hear that. At first, I explained the reasoning behind my answer and why I didn't agree so much on hers. To be honest, at the time, I didn't find hers a strong answer to that question. Sure it was so important but not that much... maybe it would be number 2? It could... I remember thinking to myself like this.

A couple years passed... One night, I had experienced a very dramatic night with one of my friends... She had a panic attack kind of thing but it was too intense, I don't even know what it was. It was scary because we were home alone, and she has reached to a point where she unconsciously attempted to injure herself... And I desperately tried to reach out to someone for help while trying to prevent her injuring herself and calm her down in every way I could... While all these were happening, of course, I got exposed to her inner communication with herself, put the pieces together and the story behind revealed itself to me...

I couldn't sleep that night. I just sit by the window and looked at the sky from late night to dawn... and It clicked. I felt it to my bones. I came to understand why my friend came up with the answer "compassion" that day... I thought "It's obvious now that I was too ignorant to agree to that back then. Silly me..." I thought the most important thing was being honest, and compassion maybe takes the second place. How far I was from the understanding of the very core thing of everything there is. It was invisible to my eye why she said so, and I was so sure of myself... That night, I cried silently with an aching heart, and changed my mind about it. Love... is what we all silently crave for... all our wounds reside in the obsence of it. And compassion, is the one thing that can save an heart from misery. It was... that important! Only then I finally have gotten to see....

Thank you for sharing that. It was a lovely story.

The frequent use of ellipses (...) is a little odd stylistically, often associated with older people, but otherwise your English is very good.

Watch out for tense usage and sentence constructions which sound awkward. Other than that , keep it up :)

You write WAY too many '...'
We rarely ever use them. We will only use them in dialogue in story books and even then we use them minimally. You could replace all of you ... with '.' or ','.

This was a nice story, a nice lesson learned. I'm glad you got to understand your friend better. Sometimes understanding comes from looking at things from a different angle.
