Maybe it's just me, but I have a handful or memories that I'd really love to go back and do over,
I'd even take a mulligan for them.
Most have to do with me not being the nicest person,
hurting someone's feelings,
talking poorly about somebody whose situation I didn't know,
trying to "get even" with somebody.
Worse yet, ignoring someone,
not taking the time to get to know people.
Thankfully, I have a few redeeming memories.
I remember in elementary school some kids a grade or two younger than me were making fun of a boy for having a hairy tongue. Which is sort of humorous now, I have no idea if he had a hairy tongue, but I remember telling them to leave him alone, and they did. The boy then proceeded to follow me around for a few days.
Being shy certainly didn't help.
I wish I would have talked to more people,
been nicer,
made more friends,
said some things I wanted to to some people,
and not said some things I did to others.
Some people have a way of befriending everyone and making them feel important.
Some of us are trying.
