Words. Some say they’re the most powerful tool we have as humans. Words have the ability to portray thoughts and emotions, share stories, convey feelings and make people feel loved. But when something holds power, it can go both ways. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? Bull.  Some words can not just hurt - they can change the course of someone’s entire life. END BITS: Got a story you want to share?
