Sticks and stones may break my bones.....

So you do you guys remember the classic saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"  Will its funny how that saying can stick with you no matter how old you! and how wrong that saying is at times.

I've come to a conclusion that words have a very big impact on you no matter what age you are! either positive words or negative words. So Im going to paint you a little image write now... (You have a bottle of a toothpaste in your hands right now... ever negative word or rumor you have either taken part of started push some toothpaste out of the tube.. ok now try to put it back.. is it easy? nope didn't think so.)  I myself have done this active many times and it seems to always get me. Iam not perfect I can tell you that! but coming from a person where word's mean a lot to her and she hold's on to them tightly this little school grade saying it just bunch of rubbish I think.

You guys know the 5 love language test? will if not the five are :  quality time,  random acts of kindness, Words of affirmation, receiving Gifts, and physical Touch.  I have taken this test many times and most of the time I have always come up with quality time and words of affirmation. Which means I love to spend time with people and words, will I hold on to them and they do effect me either negative or positive. Anyways so you may be asking Ok fey what are you getting at? Will plan and simple my friends and family WORDS!!

Either you love them or you hate them. Just recently I have been effected by some words, and It torn me down a little. So as I said before I think this saying is rubbish! and people including myself may just need to re think before they speak. Iam sorry that Iam going on a ranting session right now, but this is just what is on my heart. It's silly that we let words define who we are or just how much of an impact they have on us but this is daily struggle that Iam working through. There are days where I can let someone's words just slid off my back or I can just really take it to heart....

I once heard this saying "We are broken people loving on other broken people"  and it just saddens me that amongst brokenness we can cause more brokenness to hide how we are feeling. Which may then cause to division amongst your close loved ones.

So as I end this little ranting session for now I just want to make you think... along with myself also ...  If we were all carrying around tubes of toothpaste and with every negative word you say to someone through out the day how much of that toothpaste would you have left? and are we really just broken people loving on broken people or we just causing more brokenness that really doesn't need to be there?
