The Sticks and Stones Hurt My Bones, but Words Will Never Hurt Me

Words are very powerful, often much more powerful than the sticks and stones. We really do suffer a lot when others criticise usor wen people have certain things to say about us. It's not the words themselves, but the meaning that we attach to those words. And i didn't even know how much i was defending my stories until i can look back. I experienced this oen i left the religion of my upbringing.
