When Words Become Weapons

Sometimes the words we say can really dictate what happens in life. Some people underestimate the power that words have when it comes to how it can change things.

But ideally, Actions Speak Louder than Words. Again with cliche's. 

That's what they usually say. But there really is a point where you just say things because you know you can. You say it because you got hurt or your pride got bruised or whatever selfish reason. You say things that belittle another person in the hopes of inflicting subtle revenge. No matter how old you are, anger gets the best of you sometimes and you resort to such childish ways. I'm 19, and yet I still find myself saying immature things when I get pissed off. I'm only human. But that shouldn't be an excuse. 


My advice for those who are in dire need of anger management? BITE YOUR TONGUE. Force every cell in that mind of yours to prevent your nervous system from sending signals to your mouth to spit out words that stem from your anger. Breathe. Count from 10 down to 1. Look at something adorable like your puppy or your pet fish. Buy yourself a cupcake. Listen to Nyan Cat on YouTube (wait dont do that). Or.. I dont know. Whatever floats your boat. Just stop yourself before saying something that can completely destroy your relationship or your friendship with someone else. Because there's no such thing as scratch what I said  in real life. Nor is there a convenient backspace or Ctrl + Z function.

There's only regret, and hell, it's one thing you can't undo.
