Weight of the world

Rainy days again, we get this periodically in the year over a few months. Horrible for a scooter rider like me, to have myself drenched from neck down just because I have my helmet on. And then the sight of the city centre came to my attention, the clouds came down and swallowed half of all the buildings.

There I witness the weight of the world, because being wet, I felt burdened, I felt gravity working harder on me. The clouds took on weight and they descend because they too carried weight. Then I talk, words carry weight too, but mine they never "sank", I realize how empty my words can be, so "weightless" and so superficial.

Who am I? Why am I such a hypocrite? why do I give people my words when sometimes I know I don't mean it, "I'll think about it", "let me look through it first", "I'll let you know later", things like that when in fact, I already know the answer. You see what I mean when my words do not have weight? They are just pleasantries, meant to protect my image, or cushion your pride, I cannot figure which.

How much do your words weigh? Can you back every word you say with conviction? Constructing your words and sentences as flawless as a finely cut diamond? Is it possible to make your words weigh as much as it is meant to be?

Chris Medina sang this, "what are words when you don't really mean them when you say them, what are words if they're only for good times then they don't"

This got to change, I need to work on this, I want to stand by my words, I want to be able to look into someone special and say words that will change our lives. I'll say words that can move worlds, words that can bring life and words that will live forever.

This has to change, and this gotta start from fundamentals, it is who you want to be as a person, and who you will be for people. With words that weigh the world, "They live on even when we're gone".

Weigh your words, then you know the weight of your conviction.

How are you living today and how are you living it for your future? Let us start NOW.

MEAN what you SAY!!!!
