SELF-INDULGENCE POST: TOOTHPASTE WORDS






Toothpaste Words

I read an article not long ago that referenced the term, toothpaste words. This is not a new idea; in fact, it has been around for decades. I would suffice it to say that it probably started in the 50s or 60s. The term sounds like something a nuclear family would use.
ANYHOW
Toothpaste words are words that one spews in a fit of anger; they are words that, much like toothpaste, can never be taken back (never be placed back in the tube)..
SO
I thought long and hard regarding the many, too many, unfortunate times that I have allowed spiteful words to leave my mouth. In a fit of anger, I have too often allowed myself to lose control of my temper and my words. Expletives and harsh words would flow from my mouth much too freely, like, well, the toothpaste as it leaves the tube. Much like the toothpaste, my words can never be taken back or reinserted into my mouth. I know I caused a lot of hurt and harm. To those whom I have caused any amount of detriment to because of my hurtful use of words, I apologize. The tube is sealed; the estuary that is my mouth is no longer allowed to emit negativity; destruction can never flow from my mouth ever  again.
