“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.”
― Rudyard Kipling
When I was 10, a stone really did break my bones in my arm.I fell off our swingset and landed on a rock. Sticks and stones may break my bones… The saying is a silly one because names/words can very much hurt, sometimes more than a broken arm.
For people, like me, who tend to be “spongy” it’s pretty much impossible to let negativity roll off your back. It sinks in whether you like it or not. Words are incredibly powerful; they can build up or destroy. The choice is up to you.
