Hello

I've often said that the word tomorrow is quite possibly the scariest word in the English language. It implies that we can put would be traumatic experiences into the uncontrollable abyss we like to call the future.

But in saying that, I think that the word hello is definitely the most powerful word in the English language. Where would we be if we never said hello? There are some pretty epic people in the world that I never would have met if I didn't have the courage to say hello.

I find it's the simplest words in our language that mean the most. Words like thank you, love, remember, found, belong, true, smile, home, worth, dream, colour, seek, try, real, here and free. Sometimes when I write, I have this mindset that I have to use big, long, fancy words that, when people read them, they have to google them just to find out their meaning. I forget that the best words are the small forgotten, everyday words.
