“Many times in life I've regretted the things I've said without thinking. But I've never regretted the things I said nearly as much as the words I left unspoken.”
― Liberty in Sugar Daddy, By: Lisa Kleypas
I love this quote because it perfectly describes how I feel. Sometimes I say way too much, and probably not as subtlety as I should. I don't know if it's because I'm horrible at keeping secrets, and the moment someone says "Don't tell anyone" I feel completely guilty and it's all I can think about until it just bursts out at really inappropriate time.
Or maybe it's because I've read too many books where something horrible happens because of a misunderstanding. You know, two people meet and fall in love. Then 1/2 of the couple sees the other 1/2 of the couple hugging someone, and assumes they were cheating and then the couple gets in a fight and they don't talk for five years. Then the first 1/2 of the couple finds out that person being hugged was actually a long lost brother/sister. Then don't they feel like an idiot. Obviously these misunderstandings make for good stories and account for about half of the book, but I don't want to lose someone important to me because I was too proud or embarrassed to say how I feel.
But that's just me.
