People should learn how to speak like the sun— direct, warm, no shade unless asked. Age doesn’t buy you the right to sharpen your tongue on someone else’s silence. Tone cuts deeper than words, sarcasm isn't seasoning— it’s a slow poison unless served in laughter between equals. Otherwise, it’s a leash meant to drag dignity through dust. I’m no saint in this mess. But even wolves remember the sting of a snare. At 6 o’clock, life circles back to feed us everything we dished— sweet or sour. So if someone’s good enough to breathe the same air, don’t hand them thorns for picking flowers. Cutesy isn’t weakness. It’s grace. And grace bites back when least expected.
