I’ve never understood how someone could explode in hurtful language and then walk away as though their words evaporate. I’ve been told, it makes them feel better, yet never giving a second thought as to the damage it has done.

It won’t make them feel better on the long run. Because what they send out has been rooting in them. They think they feel better but in reality, they cannot handle their own sh** and need to throw it at others… which doesn’t solve anything but makes things worse…

So profound. Sometimes I don’t consider my words. Maybe I need an arrow on the wall as a reminder.
