Day 8: A photo that makes you angry/sad.
I wasn’t actually sure what I was going to post for this photo and it took me until the end of the day to figure it out. This is a photo that represents a horrible trait I have: MY BIG FAT MOUTH. Lately, my friends have bestowed upon me the moniker of “Joe Biden” because I am very adept at saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Usually, it’s just saying swear words in front of tiny children. But once in awhile, it’s making a joke or saying something without thinking that ends up hurting someone’s feelings. Today, it was the latter. I don’t want to go into great detail, but I will say that I spoke to a friend who’s feelings were very hurt by a comment made by another friend. I had shared the comment with her boyfriend in casual conversation (without thinking) and he shared it with her in a flippant manner that ultimately led to her feeling very hurt and confused about the person who made the comment. Had I not said anything to begin with, the whole situation could have been avoided or at least postponed until a time when the two friends could have had the conversation themselves without me getting in the middle. (This is probably more confusing than not explaining anything, but oh well.)
Needless to say, I feel horrible. I’m upset at myself for, once again, being at least partially responsible for causing unnecessary pain to someone I care about. So this picture, of my big fat mouth, is what is making me angry today.
