However, when I write, I often share more than I really intend to, because there really is no direct audience. <br /><br />Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart. That is how I learned it, and it is so much truer. <br /><br />I struggle with the girls. I don't like feeling short with them, but find myself being pulled at every angle too often and find myself short. I am trying to fix it, and being aware definitely has helped. We all have issues. And, if your friends know you, they will be more apt to forgive a snappy comment. Love you...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558908230795113658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500948046550854305.post-69384319972816795972012-04-17T17:07:35.922-05:002012-04-17T17:07:35.922-05:00I'm glad you went ahead & posted this. Com...I'm glad you went ahead & posted this. Complicated feelings are often no fun, but it's definitely good to share them when you feel safe. <br />I know you have heard me say if before, but I am so sorry that you had to experience this verbal & emotional abuse. Sadly, we all do it to a small degree to those we are closest to. I'm guilty of it. Words really CAN make or break you sometimes. You know that stupid grade school saying of, "sticks and stones..."?- I'm learning that it's b.s. Words DO harm, or lift UP. I am really trying harder to be careful about what I say & how I say it, but I have a sharp tongue & a smart mouth so it is proving to be a difficult thing to change. <br />And as for you, you are amazingly worthwhile & special. I hope that you know that I have always thought so. But we are always our own biggest (and at times most devastating) critic. I know you know that one!<br />sorry if I am kinda 'spamming' your blog, but I just really love reading it! And then I just can't NOT comment after reading it! :)Amanda Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551042114183689395noreply@blogger.com
