words can hurt

It’s Friday and the flavor of conversation revolves around weekend plannin.

“What are you doing?”

Me: I’m going to hang mirrors and pictures!

“That’s it? Nothing else? Aren’t you going to do something FUN?”

Me: … I am actually quite excited about the pictures… I’ve been meaning to hang them for the past four months…

“Sorry!”

Often, we say things not understanding the effect of our words on others. What could be trivial to us could mean the world to someone else.
