Wouldn't / Shouldn't / Couldn't

I read this a long time ago and thought of it every time I cleared out the “drafts” folder in my email inbox. Today I did that again and decided it was time to finally say all those things I wouldn’t / shouldn’t / couldn’t say before:

Maybe you should have married him instead.

Maybe you should have married her instead.

Stop whining already.

I’m jealous of you.

I know what he said.

I wish I wrote to you more.

I wish you wrote to me more.

I don’t like that we’re not talking anymore.

Just because I don’t call you on it doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re lying.

What happened?

I really like you.

I wish I could tell you how hurt I am.

I don’t like you. I just (barely?) pretend to.

I can’t believe you said that.

I find this excercise really... theraputic, I don't know exactly why, but when I did this I just felt better. It's like telling someone, without having to deal with all the drama or hurt feelings that would actually be a result of sharing this. Oh and "just because I don't call you on it doesn't mean I don't know you're lying"- I relate. I completely relate!

I hope none of these are meant for me!

But in any case I should try it! I feel like venting a little too! :))
