Words have power.
Just a few of them, whether in the form of a shout or whisper can leave you sitting in pieces of yourself, unsure of where you end and where you begin.
You could say that’s why I fear them, even as a writer.
In being aware of my emotions, I have come across one of the most tragic paradoxes being human has afforded me, words that are both our strength and weakness.
My words can make or break; I can be the groundwork for or the destroyer of someone’s emotional walls with just a sentence or lack thereof, and someone can be the same for me.
They say people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, but we throw words around even though our bodies are, in essence, fragile.
I don’t need stones to break someone’s heart, and they don’t need stones to break mine.
Words do hurt.
They don’t exactly break bones, but they can shatter people.
That children’s rhyme couldn’t be more wrong.

People can’t tell you how to feel. It bothers me when someone tells you you’re overreacting, someone can’t validate your feelings. You feel what you feel and no one should tell you anything different.
stop defaulting to “this is just how I am…” you are who you create yourself to be. you are not locked into personality traits, weaknesses, hobbies, interests. you are not some ambiguous future self who you will mold into – you are creating yourself, your future self, right now… so what are you going to be?

If you are thankful, I will increase my blessings upon you.
Quran (14:7)
I didn’t realize how badly I was treated until someone started treating me with respect.
