Words

Ive grown up on the phrase "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Well that is just a saying because its not true. Words do hurt and words can kill. They are deep and powerful. BUT yet other times they can be the only thing that makes you wanna get up or they are something to make you feel wanted. Either way, words are words and once they are said or type they are out there and they will never be able to be taken back. So choose your words carefully.


Hurtful Words:
If you say something mean and awful and hurtful to a person and if you meant something to the person that you said them to, they will ALWAYS remember it, they may forgive you for it but they will never be able to forget what you said, no matter how hard they try. I know because an adult figure in my life said something to me over a year ago and I havent been able to forget those words. He appoligized and I forgave him but it doesnt take the hurt those words caused away. Its still there. Calling people names and telling them they are good for nothing or whatever else you say to them, WILL hurt them. We are humans and we are gonna hurt. We are fragile, some more then others but either way none of us are as hard as nails like we try to claim we are. 
Loving Words:
Now the words of caring and happiness and love. These words can be so much powerful then the words of hurt. Telling a person "I love you", "Im here for you.", or simply "I care." phrases or words a person wants to hear out of everything. They want to know someone is actually there for them. Everyone wants that since of belonging and that feeling of someone does care, Im not here alone. Those words are the kind of words that a person wants to hear, that way they KNOW theres someone there they can talk to and go to for advice or whatever the case may be. Loving words are words that can encourage a person and not only that but bring a person up and make them feel better especially when they feel like their world is crashing down on them. Heard the phrase, "A smile can make a persons day." before.? I have and not only can a smile make a persons day but words of kindness can as well.  


Words can offten be taken of context so you always need to be sure your saying it in the right manner. NEVER say anything you dont mean. Bite your tounge and THINK before you speak. One simple word can make everything fall apart or it could make everything come together. Either way do what your parents have always told you "Think before you speak." Sometimes you dont think before, you just say and thats what can cause the most problems, so think then speak. Be slow to speak.
