So the next time you speak your words to someone take a minute and think about how your words will affect someone in a way that you might not except. Some of us are more fragile than we appear or front. We all want to be strong, but sometimes we feel like we're dying on the inside trying to scrape up just a little more ambition or motivation to carry on for one more day. We have to look deeper inside ourselves to find what really matters to us the most just to carry on for one more day.
We all have hopes and dreams but sometimes we refuse to share those for the thought of them being smothered by words. Words of discouragement. Words of pity, and words of hopelessness. We have to take the good with the bad is what people say. What happens when the bad out weighs the good? What happens when we have to search more and more for the good but the bad seems to be searching for us? What do you do when you want to do nothing but just give up and know that you can't? Do we just put on a smile and pretend like nothing had happened? I think some of us do enough pretending and it's getting harder and harder to do it. What happens when we become afraid to speak good words due to fear or harsh words in return? Do we bother to try again? Should we? Words are apart of every day life. It's how we communicate. What happens when we stop that communication? Do we just fall apart? Or would we fall apart if the communication becomes false anyways? We never know what life is going to bring or is going to take away.
We spend to much time blaming others and fighting over nothing when instead we should be enjoying life and everything that it has to offer. We need to start taking the appreciation in things and in each other. Why is it so hard to say the words thank you and your welcome? It used to be taught in school that we say those words. Now we're lucky if a cashier at a store even says one word. A lot of times the words that we say can be mistaken for something else. Some people take our words and twist the meaning to make another meaning out of them and it's not always the right meaning.
We all say things to one another that we might not mean in a harmful way but others take it in a harmful way. Then there are those who feel like they have to express everything in words for those to see. I don't know why. I once told that the world doesn't care about everything I do. If the person really meant that, then why turn around and do the same thing? Maybe people are jealous? I don't know why people would be jealous of anything though. Jealousy is a word that should never have had meaning to begin with. It's a very unfair word. If one says that they are happy with what they have, then another person says it how is that being jealous? It's not. Jealous has a completely different meaning. It's more of wanting something that some one else has. I wouldn't trade what I have for what any other person has. I am happy with the life that I have and the people that are in my life. Words again can hurt people.
We tell some one a story that might make some one look bad if you don't know the whole story. We tend to hear one side of the story and assume that it's the correct and only side of the story. Sometimes we cast judgment on others. Am I quilty of anything that I have written in this blog, why sure. I am guilty and I'll admit it. Sometimes I am aware of what I say and sometimes I'm not. I don't always think things through before they come out of my mouth. I try but it doesn't always happen.
People mistake my personality and who I am for someone who I am not. I may come off as a bitch or some one with a bad attitude but then again unless you know the whole story how can make assumptions? I'm not defending myself in this or anyone else. I'm just writing about things that pop in my head and I just go with it. It does tug at my heart though when people think that they know everything and make their own judgment calls.
People need to get the facts before saying things that don't involve them. I've been through it a time or two just as everyone else has. I'm no different. But, I won't forget the painful words that peole have said on purpose when they thought others weren't listening. Word does get around and it's amazing to see who you can really trust when it comes down to it.
People say what goes around comes around. I don't know if I truly believe it or not. I would never wish harm on someone I didn't like. No matter who you are or what you've done to me. I'm not like that. If you think that I would ever wish that, then you don't know me and you have already judged me. Just an example. I've been hurt by alot of people but I still don't wish harm. I don't agree with saying the harmful words about others in a way that it makes myself look bad. I don't agree with bad mouthing people on myspace either. I think it's wrong and I think it's immature. That's my opinion. Will it stop others? No of course not, but it is up to us to decide how we want to take negative words. Most people might be offended. Some might ignore it, some might laugh. It's all about how you handle it.
One thing that I want to teach my daughter is how to treat others. Yeah some one might make fun of another but it doesn't mean that she has too. Just because we don't get along with some one doesn't mean that she will be allowed to speak bad things about them. Just because you don't get along with some one doesn't mean you have to let the world know. I think it takes way more energy to do that. If I feel the need to let out some frustration with some one I do it privately. There is no need to let everyone read it and know everything that is going on.
We've made some difficult choices in the past few months and honestly I wouldn't go back and change any of them. I am happy with them and I am happy where I am. Sometimes I wish hate words never came to mean the meanings that they do today. I don't see the good that racial slurs can bring, or any other bad words like them. I don't know... I'm pretty much done with my thoughts now.
