Words

So lately i've realized that our words are the most powerful things we have. If we dont use them the right way, we can really hurt someone. I never realized the extent of my words until recently. Sometimes its too late to take back the pain they cause, but its never too late to be sorry for them. I believe that everyone messes up, and we mess up a lot. i cant think of a person in my life who has not screwed up once.. we have to learn, as humans, to forgive people. you have to learn to forgive because youre not perfect either. being hardheaded is sometimes a good quality, but youre an even better person if you learn to just move on. It bothers me when people don't forgive the ones that have hurt them because it's almost like they are saying that they arent worth forgiveness. To look at it in a more religious aspect, everyone is forgiven. But in order to be forgiven, you must confess. So i'm confessing that my words have hurt other people. I'm not afraid to admit what is true, and not once did i even deny it. It's something i've had to learn to do, but now I watch the things that i say because i've been hurt by peoples words before. Sometimes it was by the people that mean most to me, but i know how to forgive. That leads me one step closer to being a better person in this already harsh world. We dont have forever to say the things we want to say, so this is your chance. This is everyone's chance. Right now.

Honesty

This one goes out to all the liars out there ;)
You have no respect from me. I hate when people lie, especially the one's closest to me. I think if someone can't have enough respect to be honest, then they are a coward. It takes a lot to be honest. When you know you did something wrong, and you have enough you-know-whats- to admit it, then thats awesome. (I respect you)...not that it matters.
I had a boyfriend who literally lied to me all the time. I was so ignorant and believed he would change..oh boy, was i wrong. I was constantly giving chances and do-overs. Finally, i realized it wasn't worth it. Eventually, he lost my respect because he couldn't just tell me the truth. When he cheated on his girlfriend with me, (call me home wrecker, if you must), i gave in and told her the truth. I felt horrible for what i did, but in the end, she was happy that i told her the TRUTH. Honestly, he can hate me all he wants. You can say i ruined something great, but i'd rather ruin something great than let his girlfriend be in a relationship full of lies.

Farewell my friends (for now)
