do you ever say something to someone, think about it later and feel like it was all wrong?
write an e-mail, press send, and then decide you should have written more, or less- that you could have found better words that would have made it mean more?
does the aftermath of letting it all out ever leave you wishing you hadn't said anything or that you would have said everything?
i wish i could write things down, edit them, re-edit them and let them sit for a while. then come back, read them again to make sure that i'm sure of my words, and then eventually say them, post them, send them. i would always be sure that what i said was appropriate and that the words had just the right ring to them - that they did a good job at getting across the extent of what i want to say and how i want it to make someone feel. i just wish i had a big red pen for my whole life sometimes.
