Sticks and Stones

One will never know how their words affect the next. “Oh girl, look at her hair; that is a hot mess”.  “Her fat ass needs to stop eating and join a gym”. Statements such as those can be extremely detrimental to one’s self esteem. Unfortunately the person, who is talking about the other, really doesn’t take that aspect into consideration.  I never realized how my words could affect someone until the other day.  I guess it wasn’t until it hit home when it affected me the most.  So I guess my mission this year is to limit the negative statements I may have to say about others.
Words of The Week:
accost v. To speak to. 
abase v. To lower in position, estimation, or the like; degrade.
