Words can kill
You wake up early, do your morning chores, while brushing you
take a glimpse and admire yourself at the mirror hoping it to be
the most beautiful day, at the same time enthusiastically
brainstorming the errands for the day. You grab a bite of
anything on the table just to fill you up, not forgetting your
morning tea. In no time you kiss your mom goodbye and you are
out of the house. In the midst of the traffic, your phone rings
and you get a call from one of your favorite people, someone
that has always been the rhythm to your ears. She called to
discuss about plans for the next major event in your community,
and both of you happen to come up with the same ideas giggle at
how similar you are and at the peak of your laughter, she says
something that strikes you deep down, perhaps highlight your
weakness or emphasizes your character that you most inferior
about. But you still laugh, not believing what she just said or
meant, continue the conversation as if nothing really happened.
While struggling to forget her major insult, she attempts to
make you feel better, however making it worse by saying, "But I
really didn't mean that... ". Hmm..., now what are you supposed
to think? Well, basically she just confirmed her statement. To
make things better, you quickly laugh it off and come up with a
quick conclusion regarding your major event. You wind up in the
most cheerful way and say bye, giving no absolute signs of your
feelings. The moment you hang up, tears roll down your cheeks,
almost not believing what she just said/meant. All of a sudden,
you feel isolated. You feel there is no one you can really trust
or no shoulders to lean on. After the whole traffic jam, you
finally reach the destination place. No more tears, you tell
yourself, you don't want anyone to pound you with questions. So
you greet your mate with the broadest, yet fakest smile and you
move on, with those words still bouncing back to you every other
time during the day. The same day that you were hoping to be
beautiful is all a chaos...just because of words!!!
