Empty Words.
Everyone says them. Whether they have meaning at the time they are said is always debatable. Sometimes we can something and mean it with all our heart at the time it is said, and other times we know as we are saying it that it was a lie. I am guilty of speaking empty words as much as anyone else. But I hope that it has always been unintentional. I try to be honest and say what is on my mind when I’m asked. I don’t always succeed but I try my best. Like Horton the Elephant (in Horton Hears a Who) “I said what I meant and I meant what I said” I have been told many empty words. My life has been full of them for the past 3 years. I think of myself as a person who is a fairly good judge of character. My problem is that I usually don’t listen to myself. I want to trust everyone. I want to fix everyone. I want everyone to be more than okay. All I want is for those around me to be happy. I want them to be full of joy. I don’t care what the cost of it to myself is.
