I can't believe a woman could be that insensitive to her own child. Every one of you who heard something and also for you sweet gal who's relative said they didn't like you, you are chosen, suppose to be here and are genuinely special and gifted in unique ways. Wish I could hug each of you!
For me:
In college, from a boyfriend "Your legs are ugly"
Also in college, from a stranger in a bar, who said this then walked away, "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Also had a boy in a library leave those same words on a notepad as he walked away. Wow. I was so insecure and shy and that made me feel incredible.
from my sister: "Your hair looks like toilet water." Gee thanks.
The most power one was several years ago, my mama was constantly telling me she didn't like how I was wearing my hair. Again and again she would say this. I was out of state at a religious conference and a woman approached me, a woman I had met but didn't know, and she said, "Hey there, I know this sounds crazy but when I was getting ready this morning, I felt like I was suppose to tell you that God likes how you are wearing your hair."
Oh yeah, I'll take that one!!
Amazing how words seem to have the power to perform themselves. Like little darts they can pierce, OR, bring strength. Power of the tongue, indeed.
