I can’t be the only one that has written my best work all for it to only stay in my head.

You ever heard the phrase, “words I never said?”

I think I could write a book with that title. There have been multiple cases of me wanting to say something, but I never said it. I have all of this anger now and then, which sometimes just doesn’t get released. I have all of this grief that I never took the time to communicate. I have all of this regret that I should’ve spoken up at the time.

I find myself waking up thinking of those times where I should’ve spoken up more. I should’ve been more appreciative. I could have been more passionate. Those thoughts come back and hit me like a freight truck. How do you make it stop?

THere’s simply no way just to go back and say those words you never said because you could never be understood, and nobody would accept them for being late. So, what do you do with that then? How are you supposed to cope? What would a professional say about it?

I don’t know how long it takes for you to get over something if you’re truly destined to get over it. How long do you give heartbreak before you realize you messed up? How long do you give grief before you know you’re not ok?

Maybe we’re always destined to reach our death bed with a few words we never said. Perhaps it’s not possible to always say everything in your head. Maybe that’s ok.

I can’t imagine how one would feel that way, luckily, my list of unsaid words is relatively short, but does it ever get shorter?
