i love signing onto blogger and reading sooo many inspiration, funny and cute blogs. makes.my.day. even when i'm feeling a little down...you guys always know how to make a girl cheer up :) have you ever read a post that makes you go hmmmm?? i read a post the other day that really hit some with me. to sum it up...basically words can be used as weapons. sometimes, i can fight nasty...when it comes to words. this isn't something i'm proud of and i really try to be more careful with what i say and how i say it. but, when your hurting, all of consideration goes out the window sometimes. however, thats no excuse. i've def said some mean stuff in the last couple days and of course, instantly regretted saying them. {i just need to carry around a roll of duck tape} in all seriousness...i need to learn to "fight" fair! i'm sorry...can only go so far once the damage has been done.
how do you control yourself during heated arguments or
stop yourself from lashing out on someone because your hurting?

i must agree on jumping on blogger and finding awesome, inspirational, hilarious things. i am SO glad i joined blogger that short year ago!!
xoxox
I don't. And say sorry a lot. Nah, not really ALOT!!!! But, yeah....you push my buttons? You will catch my wrath. But you gotta be mashing on those buttons like crazy....so usually....if you catch my wrath, you deserved it!!! lol. I bet you are the same way. I can't see you as a MEAN GIRL!?! Hope you are well sweetie!
Don't beat yourself up about it Ashley. As long as you recognize that there are some things that you can do better and are making an effort that's what matters. It's something that I have to work on too. Once I'm heated, I feel that I MUST express it! I've learned to consider what I want to say before saying it...it's hard though. The tough girl in me would love to rip someone a new one when I'm upset but that doesn't represent the heart of who I try to give myself a cool down period before speaking. The key word here being TRY. lol
my mom always says to fight fair, no name calling, none of that ugly crap. but she said, no matter what, you have to be honest. even if the truth will hurt other people. amen to that.
I'm the same way. Really needing to be intentional with what I say. And mindful.
Harmful words really do stick around a lot longer than sweet words in someone's mind. I've learned that the hard way. Happy Friday to you!! :)
