Words
I know today is Wednesday, and this is more of a Thursday post, but it's just something I've been thinking about a lot lately.
Words.
Words are so interesting. They can carry so much weight or meaning or none at all. Lately, I've been thinking about things that have been said to me. I'm coming to realize more and more that they were just words, nothing behind them. I can't make that last claim confidently, as I don't know the other person's mind, but I can pretty much guarantee they meant more to me than they did to them.
I'm accepting the fact that, that's okay. Sometimes, we value things more highly or hold onto things more dearly than the person who gave them. It's not an easy pill to swallow, let me tell you.
I have a tendency to mull over words in my head constantly. I think about things I've said to others and things others have said to me. I live in my head, probably more than I should. It's kind of a mess up there, to be frank.
My struggle recently has been that the person probably knew the effect their words would have on me, yet they gifted them to me regardless. I know that they had to know how I would perceive them, how they would sit in my mind, how they would shape my view of them. I think we've all said things that can do these things. I generally try not to give people false hope or false impressions, but there are people out there who are not as conscious of others.
That's okay, too. Everyone is different. It doesn't make it any easier, but it's a life lesson I'm learning. You'd think I would have learned this by now, but we all learn at our own pace. We all accept different truths at different times.
Short one today. Hopefully your minds are clearer than mine!
