'Kay, now back to the post.
So, I have mostly been posting lighthearted stuff. Sure, there may have been some feelsy topics, but that's it. In reality, I'm not truly like that. I have a VERY DARK SIDE. In order to add some of my real spice, I decided to make a post that covers my 'grey area', or not dark side, but not light side.
So, I was listening to the beautiful song This is Gospel, by Panic! At the Disco (listen to it stat!) , when I heard this line:
These words are knives and often leave scars.
Words are knives. They can be tools, weapons, protection. All are unique and vary. Some words are long knives with a sharp edge. They are beautiful, but hurt so much more. Others can be short and blunt: those may seem useful and very efficient, but just don't make the cut. There are the short, and delicate knives; and the big, heavy ones.
When you think knives, what comes to mind? Whittling? Cutting? Shaping? Dangerous? Words do all of these things
Words have created our society. They cut and shape us into what is 'popular'. They change us. A simple word such as fat can take a high-esteemed girl and make her into something else. Something everyone want. Something she doesn't want to be. They can change her into a person of self-hatred, denial. That one word, left a gash.
Other words can have similar effects. They can cross the line between peace and war in milliseconds. Some can shape you into something you don't want to be. Think-- how have words anyone has said to you changed you?
There is also a flip-side to this depressing post.
Have you ever read a book-- fiction or non-fiction-- that inspired you? The words that the author wrote were so beautiful that they whisked you into another place that was filled with inspiration. The characters you met had worse lives than you, but coped in such ways, that you felt like you wanted to be like them. Yeah, that happens to me every time I flip open a book.
Those words shape you into something new, too. However, they carve into you, in order to bring out your best qualities. NOT into some creature the rest of the world wants you to be. (There I go-- bringing books into an irrelevant post -_-)
Now, I haven't yet addressed the second part of the quote.
Words do leave scars-- though not all. Kind, gentle ones more-or-less polish you. As if you were a stone at the bottom of a flowing river. Harsh, rude ones leave gashes. There are so many different types of words that leave different scars, but one thing is for certain-- they affect you.
In my opinion, scars show who you are. They show your experiences, your memories: some good, some bad, some worth it, others not so much. In the end, however, they make you, you. The scars words leave you create who you are mentally and emotionally. Sure they can hurt you physically (a fight could break out, or you could start... cutting), but they truly leave there mark in the mind. They change how you think of yourself and others.

Okay, guys. That was really philosophical, and I didn't intend for it to cover any sensitive subjects (but somehow, I did), so I apologize if I offended anyone, or whatever. I think this post was dark enough for you to see that side of me, and if it wasn't... email me and we can have a very long chat about life, death, ect.
Bye for now,
The Dragon Queen (No, I am not trying to be like Daenerys from Game of Thrones)
PS: Comment if you have any ideas you want me to go philosophical on
