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.
