Ever say things you regret? I've had one of those days. Nothing seemed to go right. It all started with a fever, I couldn't get out of bed all day. A book, solitary confinement and TV. I finally ventured out and things started going horribly wrong. Terribly wrong. One of those days.
It ended with me swearing at a friend. Accidentally. It slipped out and it was too late. I like this girl and hate that the first woman I (accidentally) swore at in years had to be her. It was said in a light hearted manner, intended as a joke, but I regret saying it. The thing that left me more annoyed was that I thought I would never swear again. It's awful - even when you say something in fun, because the person it's aimed at could be going through a rough time and your little jab could actually hurt.
The power of words. I've learned this the hard way. Over the years, I've said some nasty things and some not so nasty things said in fun. It's usually the harsh words candy coated as jokes that hit the hardest. Why do people swear? What purpose does it serve? I know things sound so much more funnier and sometimes poignant or even emphatic when you throw in a swear word or ten in every sentence, but is that really required?
I'm trying hard. I swear I am. It's difficult to not mess up.
