Once upon a time, I used to think it was cute to be able to speak without censoring my words. To me, it was a sign of strength. It was a sign of being bold and outspoken. Not giving a damn how people think or feel, was a sign of having an independent mind. But, as I journey through my walk of enlightenment, I've come to realize, words are powerful and a wise individual will censor their words and thoughts. Considering the feelings of others, is not asking permission to express your thoughts, it is just another act of love. I rather use my words to uplift than to tear down. If I have to say something that is hurtful but true, I will find loving words to express the hard truth. Don't get me wrong, there will be times that I might fall and go back to my old ways, but I won't stay down.
