Hi (((forgotten)))

We've never met before - mainly because I haven't been here in awhile.

You mentioned mean words ... and implied that you couldn't say or do anything right ... hmmm ... it is a two way street sweetie, so it can't just be you.

Of course, I'm just stating my opinion, and it only has whatever weight you will place on it - so with that being said, here it is ...

Communication, regardless of it it is in speech or actions is a very important thing, and it takes at least 2. And you should know, that even though we don't know each other, I do know that you are just as important and as valuable as any other person. We all are, and as such, we deserve the attention and respect of those we communicate with.

I have two pieces of advice for you, and I fully understand that it is much easier for one like me to give it, than for another to follow it.

The 1st piece of advice is simply this - Remember YOU are as important as the next person ... This will never change. And ... the second is this ... Whenever anyone speaks to you, it is YOU, and not their words that give importantance to whatever they say. For example, if someone is talking to you and trying to be mean, simply limit your speech to that person - don't argue with them, don't attack them, and your actions will let this person know that they have failed. Just let their words go through one ear and out the other and go about your business.

There is no excuse for one to be rude and offensive. If they are this way - you don't need them in your life, because you are SPECIAL and you have much more important things to do.

Take care,
Sam
