"Shut up if you have nothing good to say", someone once told me. It struck me having to live my whole life where I could freely express myself and suddenly someone just told me to shut my mouth. I could have said who the hell are you. I could have said I have freedom of expression and I have all the rights and privilege to say whatever I want. But I stood there, frozen in the moment without uttering any word.
I began to digest the simple message he told me. A flashback of events where I have hurt people because I've said too much. I forgot they could do the exact same thing to me. I've been hurt before, claiming it has been because of them - of what they said or what they did.
