If you don't have anything nice to say …

I know your parents have probably drummed the phrase, "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say nothing at all," into your head as a child and if not, yay you lol. 

That statement is true. You should not use your words to hurt others. Use them to show the beauty in others as well as your environment. Buttttt I must say I also don't agree with the second half. Don't say nothing at all? How much fun is that?? 

Lol but no. Still do not badger others will your words. On the other hand, it is super unhealthy to keep your frustration and anger inside. It will do nothing but poison your life. It will cloud your thoughts and shape you into someone you do not want to be. So no, I am not now saying it's okay to spew hate at others. But I have found a solution to that comes to a happy median. 

If you don't have anything nice to say, write it down.  Specifically, write a letter. Write out all the bad things. All the horrible details and the crushed feelings you possess. Tell her how much of a fake ass bitch she is or how he can't be a man to save his damn life. Get it all out. Four page letters are just fine, if Aaliyah can do it, you can too. Just let your heart take control. It can be mean, nasty, or straight up cruel. 

 Read it. Over and over until all that negative energy is absorbed into the paper. Cry. Get mad again. Do what you need to do to get YOUR closure. 

And after you're done, throw it away. Throw away all that negativity and that hurt. Throw it away and let it go. Now I know you didn't think I was going to let you mail it. That's not eliminating drama and stress, that's what you call causing more. 

Personally, I can assure you this works. I've written letters to family members, people who I considered friends, and a few miscellaneous others. If it doesn't work for you, you didn't write enough. Yes, that can be a problem. Write it ALL out. Do not save any of that negativity. Your body doesn't want it or need it. 

Do not save the letter. Throw it away. 

Detox your body. Detox your mind. Detox your life.
