"Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me."
I remember saying this all the time, threatening hurtful words and convincing myself that they wouldn't hurt - but boy did they sting.

But we know that isn't true and we can even see and feel the implications of words as the emotions race through our body. Just as your face gets flushed when you're embarrassed or butterflies emerge in your stomach when you're nervous or excited. Words have a purpose and great depth in our lives.
