There is nothing quite so supremely awesome as walking through a park barefoot on a gorgeous day. I love  feeling grass under my feet, and trees, and the sunshine, and today I didn't even mind the wind blowing hair all over my face. Couple the park with excellent company and conversation and that my friends, is what I would call a perfect afternoon. 

Here are my thoughts for the day:

It makes me so angry when people say hurtful things without thinking. ESPECIALLY when they don't know who they're talking about. You would NOT call your parent/sibling/best friend fat or ugly or stupid or gay or whatever, so what gives you the right to call someone else that? They may not be that important to you, but they're special to someone. 

I'm an english major. Words are kind of my thing. I KNOW if I needed to, I could use them to hurt others. But I won't. Because I know what that feels like. I know how hard it is to try and get those words out of your head. I refuse to be the person that causes those awful feelings in someone else. Words hurt. They hurt SO badly... You can try to ignore them, and your head may say "Who cares?", but your heart will always whisper, "You do, stupid.". 

Please know your words will leave an indelible mark on someone forever. 

And when mean things are said to people I care about, it leaves a mark on me as well.
