Emotional Tattoos

We have to be very careful about what we say to people.  Like tattoos, the words that we say cannot easily be erased, and painful words may linger forevermore.

I've learned over time to let things simmer awhile before I actually speak on them.  True, you shouldn't hold things in...but at the same time you shouldn't let them just blurt out all over the place.

We all reach our breaking point from time to time.  It's the smart person that will take the time to walk away from a situation rather than to react automatically.  This is something that you can train yourself to do.
