That video was uplifting for some reason. Words are powerful. You never know how much, until someone comes back to you and repeats something you said to them a long time ago that stuck in their head.
My mom had a little poem she would recite: Choose your words and say them sweet, you never know which ones you'll eat.
Ok that made me cry a little.. but it's a beautiful message..
I get quite sad sometimes that my English skills have deteriorated so much since moving here and learning this second language. I keep thinking about taking a creative writing class when I get back just to bring my writing skills back to where they once were.
I was waiting to see what she had written. Then I seen it and it reminded me of the same thing my grandma had told me a very long time ago. I almost went into tears when I seen that.
As someone who has been know to shoot their mouth off, verbally and in written form, this hits home with me. I know I have hurt and pissed people off in the past. And it reminds me as I remember things that happened to me as a child and things my parents said to me, I must remember what I want my daughter to remember as well.

Oh yeah. And sometimes words last forever. I've been reminded of things that I said off the cuff that wounded others deeply.
ReplyDeleteThe positive message of the video:
"Change you words.
Change your world."
