Words are only words until we give them power. Until we let them govern our lives they are just that. So why do we let them affect us? Especially when other people use those words against us.
The word “slut” use to set my teeth on edge. As if my sexual behavior was something to be shamed, but I liked the majority of my experiences and I did them of my own volition. So who’s to make me feel so negative about something I enjoyed. Me that’s who. I let that word hurt me, because I gave it the power to do so. Believing that my experiences were different from others.
