Thursday

"Hey, Fatty!"

Four mile run today. With about a mile to go, a car full of teenagers drove by me. As they did, the kid in the passenger seat rolled down his window and yelled, "Hey, Fatty!" at me. Words can build up or tear down. It's amazing how quickly I let his words cut me. A teenager I don't even know and will probably never encounter again, yet I let his taunt echo through my ears and speak to my self doubt.

Here's my request. Be kind. Speak love, or don't speak at all. You may never know the impact of your words, so choose wisely.
