Oh wow. Oh wow...oh wow.
So, here is a fun fact about me most of you probably already know: I get easily offended, too offended. I blow things up in my head to a million times worse than they are. Everything someone says to me is taken to heart....even if it isn't serious. ...and woah baby, I get upset.
So, why in the heck don't I think more before I speak? I rarely ever stop to think "Is this going to hurt you or help you?" when I am speaking, or acting.
If I do hurt someone I just shrug it off....this was normal for me until a few days ago when I hurt someone with something I said, and they called me out. Which hardly ever happens. It was like a slap to the face.
This person being one person I have no intention of hurting, at all. So when they called me out, it really hit home.
Reading this page now (9), about how the realization of your responsibility for your interactions with others is kind of earth shattering for me. Because when it comes to my interactions with others- I act so irresponsibly it is ridiculous.
I'm going to make some really specific goals I think, instead of my general "learn, grow, love"
1) Be responsible for my interactions with others. They matter more than anything. I am responsible for how I interact, I need to act like it.
So I definitely just looked around for a 'like' button. I know you posted this a couple of days ago, but I love this resolution or rather as you put it, goal. so good!
