“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”
“At least, not immediately visibly. But over time and with enough repetition and obsession they will carve canyons through my personality and emotional wellbeing. These canyons will be filled with emotional sticks and stones; huge, warped phantoms of the words they represent.”
Take care with your words y’all. But also, who cares what they think!
Scrubs’ version was, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will hurt forever.”
