Words...

Every day I am more convinced that words matter. Let me explain how and why. In fact the choices of words in general are, of course, the true indication of one's capacity and domination of the language we use. But that's not exactly the purpose of this note. Words make us, Words break us. Many easily remind me of how hurtful they feel by the simple choice of words they perceived as negative even by the closest members of their family and friends, individuals whom they deal every day, and those that carry the heavy weight of unforgivable words uttered to them purposely or otherwise.

The choice of the right words can come to our rescue and offer comfort when facing a challenge of living, whether it is a large or a small one, as well as fortifying our self-esteem and worthiness like no other remedy.

I know how my words matter and I know it when I see their eyes light up when they hear them.
