Food

Words are like food to me.  They sustain me.  Kind words.  Encouragement.  Someone just taking the time to talk.  It's nourishing to my soul.
And when I am filled up, it's great...because it's non-fattening.;)  The thing is that sometimes words are hurtful.  And they are like poison to me.  They eat away at my soul.
So, I have to learn how to spit out the bad.  Not ingest it.  Label them with a skull and crossbones.  Put them in a brown bottle and put them out of sight.
But, sometimes, I am like a child, just drinking in whatever I see (or hear).  And it causes problems.  Because words are so important to me.
But I am learning.  Watching my diet.  Watching where I go to "eat".  Being wiser.  Keeping me safe.  Giving myself the best chance to thrive.  To heal.  To grow strong.
blessings.
