A little more thought on words having power.
I realized that after the age of 50, there seem to be a few American phrases that have dropped out of my everyday usage. Phrases like “Kill me now” when something so boringly unbearable happens. Or telling a friend that “When I start acting geriatric, just take me out in a field and shoot me.”
Nope, those are things I don’t say anymore.
I realized that no matter how long I live, how much time I have left, there isn’t enough life left to be saying such things, in my head, or in public.
