Sticks and Stones...

I never thought words would ever hurt me. When I was younger, I always used to tell myself that very clichéd saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me". I know, I know, me of all people who hates clichés had to tell myself that of all the things to tell myself. But, it's true. I was so confident that anything that anybody said to me could never hurt me. Not after what I had conditioned myself to handle.

I hate realising I was wrong, and that I can be hurt. It just depends on who is saying those words...
