I tell my sons, "Say what you mean & mean what you say," sloppily chosen words are like weapons that can cut deep into a persons heart & damage their mind. The flip side of this is that carefully selected words can mend a wound & can have a preservative effect on a persons heart & soul.
We are at most vulnerable when we place our trust in another, laying it out there, having faith in the belief that they also have our best interests at heart.
I advise them to choose carefully to whom they disclose their inner most feelings to & to whom they open their hearts too. To listen to what their hearts & their heads say to them. To place their trust firstly in themselves. Listen to their intuitive selves first.
My maternal instincts drive me to prepare them for what curveballs life may throw their way. I can only advise them in hope that some preparation may guard them from unecessary hurt but am not that naive to think that it will stop it from happening.
