Thursday Thirteen #54 Self-Reflection Edition

[xakara]

Greetings, Kittens!

Recently a few people from my past have cropped back up and it got me to thinking about all of those who won't have that opportunity for one reason or another. Some people who played significant parts in my life for good or ill will never know where things stand now. So in honor of all that has gone before to shape me into the person I am, I present you the 13 Things I Should Have Said.

Enjoy.

13 Things I Should Have Said

1. I'm sorry

2. I forgive you

3. I understand

4. It doesn't have to be this way

5. You didn't know any better

6. You had no right

7. You matter

8. It's not too late

9. It's okay

10. This will pass

11. I see you

12. I hear you
13. I could love you

Very touching

The things we should have said often resonate much stronger than the things we do/did say. All the more proof that we should do our best to tell the people in our lives how much they mean to us, when we have the opportunity.

It's the very reason that "I love you" is not on the list. I've never failed to share that with anyone because I know the value of it. But there are some people, some instances, where I was too young to know any better and it makes me wonder.
