Slander, Love, and Insecurity

Words can mean everything and nothing all in the same moment. I guess it truly depends on who is speaking and who is listening. What we say tends to affect people and sometimes it can be rather profound. I suppose the worst feeling is knowing your words fall on deaf ears, but then again if your words are nothing but emptiness, that's a bad feeling too.

I'm growing more and more cautious with my words around certain individuals. Once spoken, you can never take them back. All you can do is backpedal while trying to make up for whatever hurt you've caused. For the people who speak their mind it's both refreshing and exhausting given the circumstances. Sometimes a filter keeps the word vomit from spewing everywhere and unfortunately not everybody understands when to turn on said filter.
