It's really annoying when you just kinda say stuff without thinking. Or when you don't say what you wan't to say...
In the first situation, you end up regretting it and wishing you could go back and say something different. Change the past. I wish time travelling were possible. Regret is such an annoying reality...and of course there's no point regretting anything because you CAN'T do anything to change it. But it's so hard to accept mistakes when you make them...it's human nature to want the power to control things, so when we get stuck unable to do anything we of course get angry. And then we're just stuck, unable to move. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss." That's from Rent, a movie/musical I happen to love. And the saying is so true. You have to learn to let go of your mistakes--learn from them, yes, but then let them go. Accept them and move on. Just don't forget what you learned.
And then when you keep things inside, cause you're afraid or something, that's also bad...I have that problem a lot, keeping stuff inside of me instead of letting it out. But I'm learning. I've gotten better. Writing helps a lot, and also just saying whatever comes to mind. Although then regret might come into play if I make a mistake...it's such a fine line. Choosing what to say. How do you even know if you're saying the right thing? You don't know how the other person will respond...so it's all about faith. Trusting God and trusting yourself, knowing He won't let you make a mistake so big you can't fix it.
You just can't be afraid.

I'm really glad you found a phrase you liked :) I'm glad blague (blog plague) is spreading :)
I have the same problem as you've stated in your blog. I tend to keep things locked away or encrypted so no one can really see what's wrong. I truly believe it's something we grow out of. Blogging and poetry is to me as what writing is to you. It's great :)
