There are some things in life that you can't undo. Some are absolutely humorous to the point of ridiculousness. You can't un-see the photo of the photoshopped sumo wrestler in a bikini. You can't un-see photos of your parents making out. You can't un-see the scary clowns meme....ugh clowns *shivers*
There are other things that aren't ridiculousness. There are words that you can speak that can change someone's life. There are actions you can complete that forever change the course of your friendship/relationship with someone. There are lies that you can tell...and then lies to cover up your lies. They can all change everything.
You never truly realize how much someone is affected by your words or actions until you really sit down and talk to them. What seems small and trivial to you is a huge deal to someone else. The words you say in jest will haunt them for years to come. Those things you said or did in anger will live in their soul forever. This applies to children and adults alike.
Short and sweet? Think before you speak. If you blurt something out, apologize. Don't live your life as if you're the only person that exists.
