This is just a quick little word I thought of when creating this post, “Bite your lip”. I love coming up with fun post titles that play on the look I am styling and since the t-shirt itself is sequined lips being bitten it was only fitting!
It got me thinking… too often in life there are two different kinds of people.
The first kind of person is one who has kind things to say to another person, maybe how they feel in their heart, maybe they want to compliment them or even just say hello but instead they bit their lip and choose not to say what they need to say. Maybe their scared… Maybe they think they will be rejected…maybe their pride kicks in… and they end up biting their lip and not saying what they should have said, probably a long time ago.
The other type of person is one who should be biting their lip but instead they say way too much and end up hurting people around them and ultimately themselves at the end of the day. Whether it be a sassy comment, an ugly opinion or even just deliberate rudeness.
I see this in people (and even myself) so much in life. There are so many times when I could have changed someone’s whole day by just opening my mouth to compliment them or tell someone that I love them or miss them but too often I end up biting my lip because I don’t want to feel awkward or don’t want to look weird. And at the end of the day I wish I would have just said what I was feeling.
But on the other end…
There have been even more times that I knew I should have held my tongue and “bitten my lip” but let my mouth run anyway. For me, I always find it ironic that I do this to the one’s I love the most and regret it seconds after I say something I know I shouldn’t have.
Something to think about: What kind of person are you? Are you known as the person who should bite their lip more and watch what they say? or Are you the person who should stop biting their lip and just needs a little bit of courage to start using your voice as a tool of encouragement.
