Words are a dagger

Think before you speak...
Be careful what you say because it may come back to you...

These are just a few old sayings that have deep truth, wisdom, and meaning behind them. What is my mood today...stress, anger, frustration, hurt, attacked, and alone. The great thing about lifes tests is that its a lesson to be learned. In order to achieve true change and growth, you have to do self-reflection. Looking in ones own mirror is probably one of the toughest things for someone to do because it requires you to look outside yourself and walk in someone elses shoes per say. Today I did a lot of that to see if I liked what I see since I have been called a few different outlandish names. I love who I am, but I also know that I am a work in progress. I know that I give of myself 100% to help others even if it might bite me in the ass later. One thing I've been taught is that you never do something expecting to get something in return - thats how i live. Giving is giving...not to recieve. I also know that I often think my way is the best way, the only way maybe. Im not perfect nor do i profess to be.

Today I spoke words that cut like a dagger to the heart, but most were words of truth. You should never regret words that you speak, otherwise you shouldnt say them. But I am growing enought to be able to acknowledge my wrong doing...can you do the same? Nobody wants to be wrong or have to apologize, but it really is healing.

I am so sure that im rambling right now because my emotions are all over the map and im tired as hell. But I hope my test today becomes your growth for tomorrow. Peace!
