the 'un-send' button

I don't usually do requests but I am making an exception with this post, so this one is for you - I hope you like it.

There is no 'un-send' button love, we all have to live with the choices we make, if you could undo everything how would we learn? However, since I can appreciate how you feel, here goes :)

...if there were one...

It would instantly transport us back to 5 seconds before sending that 'oh-shit' text...or the series of 20 'i have to pour my heart out' texts...and it would completely crash your phone and render it useless for 12 hours. (and before anyone laughs...we have ALL done it - don't bother denying it!!)
Long enough to re-think the - 'I love you and want you back, I am so sorry I slept with your sister!' text...yeah, definitely want an 'un-send' on that one - too much honesty might be a bad thing.

And while I believe we all can appreciate the advantages of an 'un-send' button, imagine a world with no consequences and if every mistake could be undone...
- how would we learn?
- grow?
- move cities because of a minor stalking issue? (nothing was ever proved by the way!)

anyway...

You get my meaning. :) There are no rehearsals or do-overs with life and that is what makes it fabulous!
because it is real,
alive,
passionate,
dangerous,
risky,
and...oh so sweet!!

So in conclusion dear friend, no 'un-send' button...
life is too beautiful and precious and it finds its greatness and grace in the fact that it is meant to be lived, right now, with all the passion - craziness - love - and inspiration that you can put into it!
