People don’t realize the power within them. I’m talking more about the power of their actions and words. Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words can put a hole in your soul. Actions, or lack there of, are just as bad.

In my experience, emotionally being abandoned by my beloved, and then the words which were like daggers in my heart, tore me into pieces which I have been going through, and have been putting back together.

We all experience hurtful things. But do we stand there and let it eat us from the inside out, like some sort of disease, or do we take that hurt, and turn it into something positive? Would you allow someone else to strike you down, or do you stand up and move forward, showing that you can’t be taken out?

Why give up your power? It’s within us. Why give power to those who hurt and try to make us feel like we are nothing? Don’t. Take that power back. It’s yours. Take it and use it. If you let things get to you, they are going to do exactly that, get to you. So, don’t. Show them who the better person is…
