“Actions speak louder than words, but not nearly as often” – Mark Twain
I am a sucker for what I want to hear.
I’ve been in friendships and relationships that a part of me knew I shouldn’t have been in, but they said they loved me or cared about me so I believed them, and stayed.
I internalize words. The right ones get inside me and they feel so good. I am so easily comforted by words. Once I am comforted, I carry on… not listening to their feet.
Looking back I can see when a persons feet move in the opposite direction of their mouth, it’s their feet that show me the truth.
But I still fall for their words
Words are loud.
If only everyone used them to speak their truth this would all be so much easier.
