Censored
Avitable wrote this post of ten things he wishes he could say (or should say) to people, and it got me thinking…
What do you wish you could say to someone?
Here’s mine:
1 ) If you could see what you have created through sober eyes, you’d be very proud.
2 ) You need to take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others.
3 ) If you weren’t so freaking angry at the little things, you might see the amazing big things around you.
4 ) You need to appreciate your husband more. He loves you more than life and you treat him like total shit.
5 ) You are way too hard on your kids and I can see the pain in their eyes when you talk to them that way. I know you mean well, but they are so young.
6 ) You come off really creepy.
7 ) You expect too much from your friends and the reason they don’t come through for you is because you get angry that they don’t drop everything for you. Yet, when they need you? You’re not available. It works both ways.
8 ) Your kids are obnoxious and rude and I like you, but I CAN’T STAND THEM.
9 ) I can’t believe you’re so intelligent and sweet, and associate yourself with someone so narrow-minded and mean.
10 ) I love you and miss you SO much. I hope you are okay.
So what do you wish YOU could say?

Ok, seriously though – just say what you feel. People who are oh so politically correct end up with ulcers.

I agree with April. A lot of the time, I keep things in mostly because I want to avoid conflict. At times, it hurts no one but myself.

This is one rockingly awesome idea. I might be yoinking it at some point in the near future.

I love this idea. And if not for you, I’d never find any cool stuff! I’m thinking of doing this. Soon as I tackle all the damn deadlines I committed myself to.

#2 and #8 really resonate with me.
Another is– please don’t marry that guy. He’s a loser.
Thanks God I said it. (She married him 3 days later, but a year after that she said, “You TOLD me so!”)

I have no problem telling other people what I think…actually I think that IS a problem. I say what’s on my mind without thinking. I need to make a list of things that should be said to myself…and then I need to LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!!

I love this idea. Normally I don’t have a problem verbalizing, but have been censoring of late. Stuff is eating away at me. This may show up on my blog in the next cpl of days.

It’s time to stop wishing your cards were different and play the hand you have.

I’ve been toying with the idea of doing this for a couple of weeks, but I am so transparent I think that everybody would know which one was them.
Then again, it is probably because I’ve already said it to them…

This made me teary. Crap.
I can’t say the things I can’t say. I can’t even write them. Writing them makes them real.
But maybe I can write them in the comment section of someone elses blog since the people I’m writing to will never find them…
1. If you didn’t push so hard I’d come back to you.
2. You think it’s funny but really it’s just mean.
3. I put that video about accepting gay people on my blog just so you’d know it wasn’t okay to keep bashing them in front of me.
4. I told you that it was okay what you did to me but it wasn’t. I will never trust another man completely because of you.
Thanks Karen.
I think I needed that.

I can’t get over how these lists of ten, irreverent or poignant, bring me to tears. Do we really so rarely feel free to speak that which really deserves a voice? Or maybe it’s just the third trimester hormones weeping.
Great post.
