You wake up early, do your morning chores, while brushing you take a glimpse and admire yourself at the mirror hoping it to be the most beautiful day, at the same time enthusiastically brainstorming the errands for the day. You grab a bite of anything on the table just to fill you up, not forgetting your morning tea. In no time you kiss your mom goodbye and you are out of the house.

In the midst of the traffic,Words can kill Articles your phone rings and you get a call from one of your favorite people, someone that has always been the rhythm to your ears. She called to discuss about plans for the next major event in your community, and both of you happen to come up with the same ideas giggle at how similar you are and at the peak of your laughter, she says something that strikes you deep down, perhaps highlight your weakness or emphasizes your character that you most inferior about. But you still laugh, not believing what she just said or meant, continue the conversation as if nothing really happened. While struggling to forget her major insult, she attempts to make you feel better, however making it worse by saying, "But I really didn't mean that... ". Hmm..., now what are you supposed to think? Well, basically she just confirmed her statement.

To make things better, you quickly laugh it off and come up with a quick conclusion regarding your major event. You wind up in the most cheerful way and say bye, giving no absolute signs of your feelings. The moment you hang up, tears roll down your cheeks, almost not believing what she just said/meant. All of a sudden, you feel isolated. You feel there is no one you can really trust or no shoulders to lean on.

After the whole traffic jam, you finally reach the destination place. No more tears, you tell yourself, you don't want anyone to pound you with questions. So you greet your mate with the broadest, yet fakest smile and you move on, with those words still bouncing back to you every other time during the day. The same day that you were hoping to be beautiful is all a chaos...just because of words!!!
