Words...don't let them...

"Words; don't let them shake you; don't let them break you or stop your world from turning..."

Ok, so it seems time to educate some mother fuckers. People, you need to stop before you say something that will train wreck another. It is not a request but a fucking demand!! I am so tired of people saying the most hurtful things without ever thinking if their words are having an impact they may not have intended. Do you know what it does to a person's soul to have vicious words thrown at them like they are nothing--at a speed that no one would ever be able to dodge?

Words lie in wait...they are opportunity whores. They wait to strike; they know when they will have the most damage and will hit us with a force that knocks us into oblivion. They will cut us deeper than any fist is able to yet people just cannot help themselves. The power of words is undeniable. Do you wish your words to become vehicles of love or do you wish to have your comments replayed over and over so that the recipient can abuse themselves endlessly with their power?

Close your eyes and remember every last word that was provided to you by another that you have never been able to rid yourself from and THINK!!! Words last a lifetime; the uglier the sentiment, the longer lasting it's power. Words such as "I Do" or "I will love you always" have the ability to alter our path for a lifetime but please do not forget words such as "I hate you", or "You are a disappointment" will reside in the forefront ready to expose themselves as soon as we are weak to hurt us all over again.

Words influence our decisions, our opinions, and our path. Wouldn't it be beautiful to have your positive words help someone achieve their dreams instead of crushing them? Wouldn't it be amazing if by saying a kind word, demonstrating love with a word that you provide another the courage to take this world by storm?

Gentle and loving....respectful and kind...amazing and beautiful. Give your words the right kind of power and stop thinking being honest equates to being mean. Do not be careless, do not drop your words like bombs ready to explode the path another is on--show respect, empathy, and admiration...let it flow freely and see what comes to you in return. Maybe...just maybe some of the hurtful words that remain with you will be forever erased; replaced with a beautiful sentiment. What do you have to lose?
