The Power In Spoken Words

Something happened a few days back and I thought to share and educate you that is reading

Good morning
It is a new month. All thanks to God.

Happy new month.

So,
I made a post here last month. My very first post on Hives.

The excitement that I'm finally going to publish my introductory post after waiting for what felt like "so long" was second to none.

I took my time to create this introduction of myself and how happy I am joining this great platform

Few days later, I got one notification.

Waw! You needed to see the lit on my face. I was literally glowing.

I finally tapped the notification icon to meet a "heartbreak"

"X ignored you." This was the message. I intentionally want to keep the name private.

My first time. No! This shouldn't come as my very first notification

It may not be a big deal though but it is more than big to me.

I felt an imaginary punch on my chest.
My heartbeat increased all of a sudden.

That glow on my face disappeared in a tqwinkle
All that excitement vanished like air
I couldn't lift an arm that moment because i couldn't feel my bones.

If you have been heartbroken before, you will understand.

For this reason,
I snoozed.
I left this app alone to face my peace of mind 🤦

Afterwards I went back to the friend who introduced me to lay down my heart.

Right there, he narrated his own ordeal...

What is the point of this whole write up? You may have asked yourself. You are not wrong for asking

This is the point
Just like the title of this post, there is power in your words.

You can create as well as destroy with just what you say.

And this is me encouraging you to learn to encourage people instead.

That little, "like"
That little, "You did well"
That little, "Good"

Can go a long way to make a person feel good and do better.

Encourage someone today, for the rest of this month and beyond

Thank you for taking your time to read.
