Speak first, think later

Do you know someone who never consults their mouth before it opens and spews whatever is on their mind? Are you that person? I've tried to put a leash on my tongue, but there are times when I speak without thinking about my words or my standpoint. I have gotten better, I no longer get on my soapbox and start preaching my beliefs to everyone however I still notice that I let my emotions get the best of me. After I open my mouth, I think about what I said and wish that I could go back and start the conversation all over again.

I know a lot of people who are like this. Well, I also am one especially when I am angry, sometimes I wish I could take whatever I said back but you just can't. I also know a lot of people who always insults me. I don't know IF they mean it or not but one things for sure it really hurts. I have started this discussion about my in laws who never think before they speak or comment. They always insult me, I just think they don't have the right because I have my own job and I don't ask any money from them or help because I don't want to because of their attitude. My mother in law, my brother in law and sister in law. I just hope someday they realize what kind of people they are. They claim to be religious people but just doesnt show it. Well, they always tend to insult me but not only me also other people as well. The most arrogant people I met in my life.

I think I could sometimes put myself in that category. I have been known to often speak before thinking.

Well everyone does this from time to time! It's kind of human nature to spread your beliefs and try to get everyone to believe in your opinion and at least think somewhat the same way you do. But yea I do that a lot too where right after and even as I'm speaking I think "Oh no.. shouldn't have said that. My bad"
But you can never go back against what you say! People are too stubborn :p


Hey, I have been too quiet most of my life,,enough is enough
I won't shut up now
