Maybe I DONT always think before I speak. Maybe I have inserted my own foot in my mouth 1, 2, or 10,000 times during the course of my almost 38 years. Maybe I DO wear my heart on my sleeve more often than not. Maybe I DO share too much of myself with people (and even the ones who dont care to or NEED to know something about me). Maybe I do ALLLL those things, but you know what? Thats who I am. Im far from perfect. Im NO angel....not by a LONG shot. Im just a human being like everyone else. I screw up and I make assloads of mistakes and I have NO doubt I will make a million more before I leave this earth. I have made MANY in my past and I dont anxiously await the ones Im SURE to make in the future. I will however, not sit quietly by and be judged by people for those flaws and mistakes when NO ONE is perfect and those doing all the judging sit up on their self-made high horses as if they are without fault or sin. If I believe in something, I am going to speak on it if I choose to. If I disagree with something and feel I have a valid point, I am going to speak it. If I am hurt, angry, sad, or happy about something and I want to share it....Im going to. I can count the instances in my head where Ive said something with the intent to hurt someone and didnt actually care if I hurt them. I, like anyone else, have said things in the heat of a moment that came out before I could really stop myself. Do I regret saying certain things? Of course. And as a human being, I feel remorse for things that may have hurt someone I didnt necessarily TRULY want to hurt. In those cases, sometimes theres not much you can do but express regret. I experienced a moment like that a little earlier. Open mouth, insert foot all the way in. Im never going to be perfect but at least Im not who I used to be. Aside from a few serious regrets, I can look myself in the mirror and at least like a part of what I see in the reflection. The rest, I leave in the hands of something greater than me...and just continue to work on changing the things I cant accept about myself. In the meantime, Im going to be just who I am. Flawed and completely imperfect and anyone who CANT accept that person can show themselves to the proverbial door. #onlyhuman
