why?

why do we hurt those we love most? and often when amidst our own turmoil? is it to make ourselves feel better? to bring them down with us? you know they are wrong before you speak them-but you speak them anyway. once spoken there is no way to erase the hurt youve caused. it can ruin lives. it can ruin relationships. and it does nothing but make you feel miserable inside but you hurt those you love. it doesnt make you feel better speaking them. it doesnt validate your point-because you were wrong in the first place. so why do we do it? i dont have an answer. i wish i did. because then maybe i could explain to those i hurt why i did it. there is no simple answer except to say that i was wrong and i am so sorry. the damage is done. i cant go back and pull the words back in my mouth as i spoke them.

but i do know this. i am human. however hard i strive to be perfect, i am so far from it--and it clearly shows by my flaws. i have hurt you and for that i am sincerely sorry. i cannot undo what was said but i would if i could. i hope you can forgive me.
