Words

"It's only words and words are all I have, to take your heart away..."
-Bee Gees-

Sadly, words are also the same thing that ripped your heart away. I am sorry for what I have done. How many apologies can I give you until you draw the line? I feel stupid. Really stupid.

Be Gentle On Your Loved Ones
by allinspiration.com

It's a great irony of life that while most of us are polite with colleagues, salespeople and strangers, we are often harsh and angry at our loved ones. It is almost as if we enjoy criticizing and venting our anger on them.

What do we achieve by behaving this way? Nothing, really. In fact, angry tones and harsh criticisms put a damper on the intimacy of close relationships. We are robbing ourselves of the opportunity to feel close and be close to our loved ones.

Even if, in the event of a disagreement, you are right, do you really need to push your point across so violently? You're just making people distance themselves from you, because it becomes hard to talk to you.

When your loved ones wrong you or make a mistake, what's done is done. Which is better, being polite, extending forgiveness and then working together to solve the problem, or, venting your anger and frustration and making your loved ones feel worse than they already do?

When you make harsh criticisms of your loved ones, you are hurting them deeply, much more than you can imagine. Even if you didn't mean it. Just put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel?

Treasure your loved ones. At the end of the day, they're all you've got.

This wonderful article reflects everything that's on my mind. I really learned my lesson and regret every hurtful word that I have uttered to those I care and love. I am sorry. I wished there is something I can do to erase those words from your mind...but once words are spoken, there's no undo to it.
Words...they are just so powerful...
"When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain"
-William Shakespeare-

Perhaps I need to learn how to be silent. Then maybe I won't hurt you the way I do.

"No words are necessary between two loving hearts"

as they say, words can be sharper than a knife,
softer than a..(i havent think of anything yet). lol

well,from my bro's PR class. before any words are spoken, you need to think from that person's view b4 letting go some words.

keeping urself quiet forever wont help. as it will make u lose touch or contact with others.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Out of the blue

 I remembered I used to cry a lot about Icy, and I was very confused with my own actions and emotions. During that period, I needed someone to talk to, and I did not want to talk to anyone who knew me in real life so I just spoke to someone random in-game. He joined the clan and I used to want people to be active and donate clan points and make a lot of reminders for members to play world boss. It was also during that time that I cleared out some members to make way for new ones. I may have recall bias as I had a lot of sadness in me back then and when I am sad I cannot recall things properly. I just remember the guy was from Brazil and when he heard of my story he was mad at me as he said I was unfaithful to my husband and he left the clan and deleted me as friend. I was rather shocked with his response and at that time I was also sad as I realize no one will ever be compassionate enough to understand my feelings.  Anyway that was more than 1 year plus ago. I think I stopped ...

Pieces of My Shatterd Heart

I miss you, when you laugh, the twinkle in your eye, the shape of your silhouette against the moonlight, the way you concentrate when you drive, and tease me intentionally to make me smile I really miss you~~~~~ I like the time when we went out and it was raining you treated me like an ice cream afraid of me melting shunning me away from the water droplets falling and when I look up to see you I caught you smiling... Drowning in a pool of misery wondering how to change history to diminish my growing worry to seal you in my deepest memory Not having you means not having anything cause you are the one whom i can share everything its you i seek when the rays of dawn comes shinning don't you know that my heart is now shattering? When night comes the missing is unbearable cause its was always the time you are more available yet now even when the curtains of dusk falls I'm l...
