Stumbling Through Life

i find myself doing this a lot when i make a mistake or hurt someone, or am hurt by someone else. i feel the need to write them a letter explaining my actions or words, so that they can understand it was all out of love, even if it didn’t seem so.

until my best friend said “i only say things once, because once i’ve said what i needed to, there is no point in repeating it over and over, i’ve said it. it’s done.” i used to beat a dead horse, trying to get people to understand, but now i follow my friend’s advice and i say things once. it’s been a huge relief off my shoulders.
