Watch your mouth

Dear Filter,
You need to exist at all times between my brain and my mouth. After a conversation today with my mom (and later on with a friend) I was reminded that sometimes, Mr. Filter, you are absent from me. Whenever I am feeling a strong emotion you seem to disappear, allowing me to say the first thing that comes to my mind. Sometimes this is ok, but if the strong emotion is anger or disbelief I tend regret my lack of thinking things through. Maybe it’s genetics because my mom says I get it honest. But whatever the reason, I would like for my choice of words to be better, or even that hint of, “if you can’t say anything nice…”
I missed you today. Please return soon.
Carefully Written,
A.
p.s. Dear Lord, please make my words sweet as honey, for tomorrow I might have to eat them. Amen.
