While we all ran with half Fran Lebowitz's quote, we didn't quite get it. Fran said 'Think before you speak and read before you think' but we've all told or been told to think before we speak.

Do you take a minute to think about the impact your utterances could cause. Because most often, shit 'slips' and we say pretty hurtful things. While thank God apologies are a thing, bandages don't heal bullet holes. People will say it's fine, but it's never really fine. Said shit will linger, insecurities will resurface or become shinier, esteems will be slain.( Oh I said slips in qoutes because that's not a slip you dumb ass, it's because you didn't think before you went on verbal rampage. ) Victims then won't stop wondering what else goes on in your mind becau
