Sticks and stones Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. But often, words do hurt us. Any time that this is the case, it means that we have become confused about our identity, that we have forgotten our worth as a human being. Somebody’s opinion never determines our worth. […]
Supported???

Supported??? Lots of people have head trash about not being supported. And undoubtedly there are/were specific incidents where they were not supported and specific individuals didn’t support them.
