A Lesson Learned

Today I learned a valuable lesson: Stop before you even get there.

I am kindov an outgoing person. I make jokes a lot. I make jokes about things. I make jokes about people. But always, always, always, when I joke about people, I make sure that people know that I am just joking. I also like making jokes about how a wonderful and beautiful person I am. Hahaha.

But today, I learned the value of knowing when to stop. Case in point, a while ago, I was hanging out with my friends. Some of whom are people I am not really close to. But nevertheless, we share some laughs every now and then. I was joking about a certain person. That certain person knew I was joking only. Everyone else knew I was joking only. But there was this other person who, I think, thought otherwise.

That person said I was being "bitchy" daw. At first, I thought he was joking also since that was the aura then. Everyone was joking. Everyone was laughing. Some other people were making jokes of other people also. So, I just dismissed it as one of the jokes thrown about me. I did not mind it

But then that person said it again. And the second time he said it, it kindov hit me. It kindov felt real. So later during the day, I asked my friends if I were bitchy. One said I was a"dear" and that I shouldn't think I'm bitchy because I'm not daw. Another said that I'm not really. Although I'm not like a goody two shoes, it is not impossible that there are times I might be bitchy. She said it was a possibility.

So there. I learned to know when to stop. Most of the time, jokes are fun. But sometimes, they could also be just too much, So before I get there, I must stop. Before I get to the point where jokes stop being jokes, where damage done cannot be salvaged anymore, I must stop.
