I'll admit that I have "jumped the gun" more than once

I'll admit that I have jumped the gun without actually "seeing or hearing" things for myself! As I'm sure most people have at one point or another.  But when very close friend or family member tells you something, you automatically believe them! I'm sure that you all can understand that!

I always TRY to "look" for myself but there are certain times where I've thought to myself that it wasn't necessary.  I've always tried to do what I thought was right, but sometimes in the midst of things it's easy to get caught up and pulled in the wrong direction.

As difficult as it might be, it's always best to talk with the person directly.  It's better to build bridges that to burn them.  And it might just save a lot of grief, anger and hard feelings.  Some things are just a simple misunderstanding, plain and simple.

However, I'm only human.  I just hope that in times like this, people can forgive me, move forward and understand where I was coming from.
