GM3 things you would do if you knew this was your last day of life as you know it.

*I cursed at my mother once (when I was 17), I called her a "fucking bitch" :| and earned the only slap I've ever gotten from her.

*I told a big lie at the end of my relationship with T. (my British partner) it was really unnecessary and I made a painful (but necessary) breakup much much harder on both of us.

I've spent a lot of my grown up life learning to use my words, take my space and understand my feelings before speaking from a place of anger, frustration, impatience, fear or loneliness. So I try really really hard not to say hurtful things. And I've gotten better at not being hurtful year after year. That said...I'm far from perfect and

*I would gladly take back all of the angry, sad, frustrated, scared words I've ever said to the people I've loved, over the years.

Give me three things you'd wished you said

1. I wish I had said "I forgive you" a lot sooner than I did.

2. I wish I had said "I trust you" even though the person really didn't deserve it in the end. I still wish I had been the kind of person who offered that trust unconditionally more for my own sake than for theirs.

3. I wish I had told someone a harsh truth/reality even though it was hard for me to say and even harder for them to hear.

Please GM3 things you want to say to someone right now....
