In my life I’ve heard a handful of people say “Go back to your own country” to others. That hurts a lot, and all I can do is offer some words of sympathy to the victim/recipient. And even then I’m not always sure what to do. If you’ve moved abroad, you never fully come back.
“You have brought nothing but evil into my life. Don’t ever talk to me or my family again.” Told to me in person.
I was honest, and kind to this person and had known them for 20+ years. It stuck with me and I blocked them everywhere. He still tries to find a way to talk to me, but I think I finally blocked him everywhere.
A few months ago my harsh, blunt, not-very-good-at-showing-love grandma wrote a card to me saying “if I could I would take all your ills away. I’m proud of you. Love you, Grandma”
I’m fighting cancer and was hospitalized for a serious infection, and this card made me bawl. I’m getting teary-eyed thinking about it now. Love you, too, Grandma.
I went no contact with my mom. Later a handful of people that went no contact told me my mom had boldly bragged about persuading the doctor to over medicate me on antidepressants, she also said if she ignored my asthma it’d go away, and that on antidepressants I was always quiet and manageable. I as an adult now have gone to the doctor and been evaluated. I have cptsd, autism, asthma, and reproduction issues. I’m working on a case against my mom.
After 4 years of trying, and eventually giving up (didn’t use bc because we figured one of us was infertile) i went to the doctor for nausea/ vomiting and exhaustion – trust me, the excuses your mind comes up with when pregnancy is “off the table” is wild.
I was speechless, then in denial. We’ve been trying for so long, can you run the test again, all that. (I’ve since taken a home test and had an ultrasound that confirmed, yes, I’m pregnant).
And then I got to go outside to where my hubby was waiting on the car and tell him – he immediately pulled me to him and started just bawling out of sheer joy
Anything that is complimentary. It’s kinda weird to hear other people compliment me. I absolutely appreciate it, I just don’t know how to feel about it. 😅
“I know you can get better but I don’t want to be around to see it.”
That was the last thing my ex spouse ever texted me as I tried to reconcile during a separation.
I did get better. Every milestone I reach, I think of them. Haunted by the “what-if”s about how things might’ve worked out if I’d just put in the work sooner.
I still wear the tungsten band on a necklace, but there’s no one left in my life who would know where it came from.

When someone calls me a bitch.
Cuz literally we instantly to fight.
“Oh. My. God.” >:3
either that, or general unapologetic behavior disguised as an apology.
like, “yeah i understand, but can you _____, please.”
My ex once said to me, “I hope someday you hate someone as much as I hate you.”
Honestly… that line stuck with me way longer than it should have.
“I didn’t force you to do all that, you did it willingly”
“”

None so far.
There are, however, words which should never have to be used again.
Slavery. Concentration Camps. Injustice. Hate. Prejudice. Cowardice. Any word that limits human freedom or allows destruction of the environment.
The very worst that should leave the language through no longer being needed imo are:
Genocide
Extinction
War

“A condom would have prevented all this” my father at one of my lowest points in life
Quite many, my brain fog makes forming sentences very difficult 😛
I don’t love you anymore.
“please be quiet”
“We aren’t leaving this FOB till their dead or we are dead”

“May you be proud of the work you do and the person you become.”

Any and all genuine compliments

Super helpful conflict resolution approach /s

We need to talk.
“You’re a failure”
What an idiot. (Referring to Cory Booker, the day after his 25+-hour Senate filibuster)
“i was just trying to save you from hell”
words spoken by my “best friend” when i eventually plucked up the courage to drop them after years of bullying and abuse over my sexuality
I don’t even need words. My wife can give me a look and it leaves me dead in my tracks😂
Forgive me
“Shhhh, you’re interrupting the wedding ceremony”
“You’re pregnant”

“Pinalaglag na lang sana kita!” I was too young when my mom said that. She never apologized, but I still love her—and I’ve chosen to forgive her.

My ex once said that if I were 10kgs lighter and 15% dumber, I’d be the perfect woman 🫠

It’s such a devastating image of beauty being destroyed by the ignorant, more poignant every day.
