I saw a saying today (by Inspower) that for some reason
caught my attention.
And made me think.
I think maybe because it involved take-backs.
And I always wish I could have some life take-backs...
rewinds and re-do's,
do-overs, second chances.
"I really screwed that one up"s.
It said,
Three Things You Cannot Take Back in Life:
WORDS -
After you say them,
MOMENTS -
After you miss them,
And TIME,
After it's gone.
Man, how I wish.
I've said many words I wish I wouldn't have...
stupid words,
hurtful words,
haughty words...
Those words still haunt me sometimes. Funny how the good things
I've said, I don't much remember. It's the ones I wish I hadn't said, or the ones
I should've said that stick in my mind the most. Jumping in on a game of gossip, or
saying something so stupid that it caused a friendship to ache, not speaking up for
someone when I should have...
They say actions speak louder than words.
But the wrong words...can hurt.
I can only try to remember to carefully use and choose my words.
'Cause I can't ever take them back.
