As I have said before I Wish... That people would think before they do, that people would think about what they are doing, that people would care about each other more, the people would do what they said that they would do. I wish people would think before they speak words hurt. I know that once the words leave my mouth they can never be bought back. I'm sorry for the things that i say that hurt other people. I wish that I can take those words back. I try not to tell other people what I am told especially when I know that i can come back and hurt people. I wish that i would remember to do all these things all the time but I'm not perfect and no one else is either. I wish that people would just follow the golden rule "Do on to others as you would have done on to you". I promise to try to do this from now on.

" Watching your words, or thinking before speaking resonates with me. Because, as you said, once it's out there, it's out there. My last ex taught me that, and for that I am grateful. "

" yes Golden rule.

I would just like to point out that that its two way street, and when emotions are involved the "golden rule" often goes flying out the window, especially here where there are damaged people.

I know I've said and reacted to things inapropriatey out of sheer pain and frustation. Fortuantely more "seasoned" individuals could see it for what it was.

I think people need remenber everyone here is doing the best they can with where they're at.

Why just last night I saw someone take offense at something that wouldn't have triggered me one bit. Go figure. Everyones different. "

" I need to do this too. I found that many of the arguments with my ex didn't need to be. Frustration overtook the discussion and bam, it was ON. It's not just words, which is bad enough, but tone, facial expressions, rolling of the eyes, etc. Sarcasm when fighting is not cool, even when typically that stuff is what is so fun and funny about the relationship.

Ugh. There's so much to learn.... if we don't learn and change will be doomed to continue repeating these mistakes. I can't afford it anymore. And I'm so saddened that the lesson was learned well before the destruction began. "
