UNDO
I started this post this morning when I first got to work and after countless meetings and other things which kept me from finishing, I wonder if it's still relevant.
I'm a person that tries to be all things to all people and therefore often succeeds in being true to no one really. In a world where you hear the phrase "The Truth Shall Set You Free", I also believe sometime The Truth Shall Enslave You. There is a lot to be said for always being completely and utterly honest with people but there are times when that honest only serves to disallusion, maime or hurt the ones you like or love. It's so hard to find that balance if ever there was one between what you should say and what maybe you should keep to yourself.
So with all of that said, there are times in life when I wish there were an UNDO button and you could undo certain things you've done or said or even learned to, from or about folks because it would make life appear easier. If only you could use that same button to UNDO things that have been done to you by others, maybe we would all be happier in this world.
My new goal is not to UNDO things said or done but to always try and make sure that things I do DO, dont cause others to want to search for the UNDO button.
I dont know if what I'm saying even makes sense to me but I hope that maybe it will make sense to others.

No one has dared to comment. I've thought about it for a while.
Please tell me you didn't hurt our Syren.
Please!
That is a tough post to comment to I would guess. Syren is ok and we as a couple are ok. We had some trying times recently and it's always easier to ignore the truth rather than admit when you're wrong or have done wrong and I didn't want to hide from my mistakes. The truth is a funny thing, it's good but it can also be bad because you dont always want to tell people the truth especially when you know it can/will hurt them intentionally or not. I've learned though that communication is key regardless of you think the conversation will go well or not.
