I'll be the first one to tell you that I put my foot in my mouth. Often. Though I like to think I've never been one of those girls who intentionally causes verbal harm, there's a whole lot of room for interpretation when it comes to the words "intentional" and "harm."
In high school, most of us learned this lesson the hard way. Whether it was a careless comment at just the wrong moment or a heartless observation overheard by the wrong person, we've all wished we could take back something we said. Unfortunately, words flung in the heat of the moment--much like the proverbial chicken feathers in that classic story--are impossible to get back.
So at this point, let me just say that I'm new here. I'm still learning. And if there's one thing I've picked up on, it's the fact that this island is freaking SMALL. There really are no secrets here.
So be careful what you say, repeat, or write. Especially if you're venting about something that could just be a harmless misunderstanding.
You're welcome.
