try this.

think.

think 

before

you speak.

think

about how

what you say

will affect

the person you

say it to,

or say it

about.

maybe

what 

you

say will

hurt

someone

beyond repair.

maybe

what

you

say will

ruin

someone's day.

think

before

you say

anything,

and

before

you act.

even if

you try

to sound

sympathetic,

kind,

or happy,

your

actions

and your

body language

will betray you.

think

about

it.

maybe

what

you

tell your 

friend

to do

will hurt

someone else.

maybe

keeping

your friend

from their

other half

will

hurt

them

and their other half

(almost)

beyond

repair.

you

don't

know

what could

happen,

what could

go wrong.

you may

think

that you're

working

in someone's

best interests,

but you

may not

be.

your words

can hurt

or they 

can heal,

and,

more often

than not,

when you

don't think

beforehand,

it

will

hurt.

please,

for the

sake

of

everyone,

think.
