Words are the most powerful thing in the universe.  Cuts and bruises always heal, but words spoken in anger are most often permanent.  They don't damage the body, they destroy the spirit.

(Paraphrased from Sherrilyn Kenyon)

I knew it was coming.  I've known it since that night when he told me what happened.   But still I sat and I clicked until it slapped me right across the face.

At first I was hurt, and believe me, the pain is still there, but now it lies under a nice and thick crystal clear layer of sheer anger.

It is my own fault, but damnit, I'm sick and tired of never, EVER, being good enough!!

I'm not certain that being considered a "sure thing" is good.
