Ladies & Gents,
There is no nice introduction leading into my first blog post here. I'm going to be quite blunt. Watch your mouth. Every single word that escapes your lips effects someone somehow. Think before you speak, think before you type or send a text message. You can make or break friendships and build people up or crush them down in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, if someone says something that hurts and they honest to goodness feel awful about it and apologize and ask them to forgive you, you should try to find it in your heart to forgive them. If you fling it back in their face, it hurts worse for both of you. If you can help it, don't bring up negative events and pick a fight. And by no means should you ever try to make something mean you said seem less mean by pointing out the other person said something mean to you.
Today, I've found myself on both sides of this. I cried over words that lit up on my phone that felt like a knife in my heart and had a stupid, inconsiderate question that I regret even asking thrown back in my face. I can honestly say, having something I've apologized many times about and wished countless times I wouldn't have said thrown at me hurt a lot worse. I thought this person had forgiven me for my stupidity, but they hadn't... I feel really awful about the situation in its entirety.
So BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. Even if you mean it a certain way, someone can take it a very different way.
Stay positive kiddos....
Love,
Anna
