the power of words.

some words by themselves can just have really "bam" effects. sorry for my horribad. for instance:

empty.

broken.

goodbye.

power.

there is a story behind each of these words. and like juli's story, "saudade," there is a whole boatload of emotions that come along for the ride. this is why it's so important that we as writers continue to choose our words carefully. select the wrong word, and you might end up picking your father with your dear old potato. (spanish speakers, i'm sure you can figure that one out.)
