If you want to know what's really inside a person,

I was reading a new book when I came across this simple sentence and it jumped off the page. Capturing my attention I picked up my phone and went through my last conversations in my text messages. What was the content of the last thing I said to my family and friends.
Conversations all over the place. To my dad it was "I do", we keep it simple and good. My mom, it was about her birthday. With Brooke, it was about our date day.

Who do you talk to where you feel light-hearted, loved, happy and refreshed? Who do you talk to where you know it will quickly turn negative?
Words are powerful.
Be careful what you say, words either speak life or destroy a relationship. Sometimes its slowly and unintentionally and the relation s h i p i s g o n e
