I love this.

And you are getting to know me by now. So of course I am gonna wrangle this around into a different take on the premise. Must be how I read it. It clearly states “…didn’t take action but wish you had” and yet my noggin did an inside out on it and made it something so dang close to home.

The thing is, it wasn’t a time. But so, so many times where ego goaded judgement, a sketchy, alien excuse for character, reinforced by a total ignorance of true self congealed into now remorse-full actions.

Times urgently calling to “not”. Screaming out for pause to gain a true consideration of the impending consequences. Moments demanding honest reflection and genuine discernment as to the potential damage being done to those around me. At minimum.

I now appreciate the true value of inaction.

Had I then, perhaps I wouldn’t have to do so much differently.

Now.
