A Penny For Your Thoughts?

These will be the three bravest things you will ever learn how to say.

 ~

One.

"I love you"

and don't just say it as an empty phrase,

say it with feeling,

say it to every person who comes to your mind when you think of those three little words.

I know it's scary,

I know it's difficult,

but open yourself up

and shout it.

Do not mumble, 

do not say it under your breath,

when you love someone,

whether platonically or romantically, 

it deserves to be shouted from every rooftop.

~

Two.

"Goodbye."

There will be some people in your life,

that come in and just wreck everything,

they mess up your plans,

they hurt you,

and make you feel less than what you are,

so please,

please learn how to say goodbye to them.

But I also want you to learn how to say goodbye

to the people that you would want to stay.

Not everyone stays.

And it would do you a world of good to learn how to tell them goodbye.

~

Three.

"I am worth it."

There will be waves of sorrow in your life,

and you will feel as if you were the sand that the tide carries away,

you will feel as if each wave eats into your worth.

It will feel like the left over rubble of a crumbling building, 

that has been burnt down.

Somedays you will feel like less than nothing.

But please learn to say these words.

Say them in the mirror when you have just woken up.

Say them when your lover turns their back on you.

Say them when you open the refrigerator door.

Sing them,

yell them,

whisper them

and please,

believe them.

You are more than sand that washes away,

and you are more than a few pieces of broken cement,

please,

you are worth it.
