There are many people and things in life to treasure.
Ones we sometimes take for granted.
Ones we sometimes enjoy showing off.
I treasure my family and close friends deeply.
I treasure my life.
And I’m still learning to treasure myself.
I treasure every materialistic item I own,
But if there’s one of them I treasure the most,
It would be a gift given to me by my father:
A heart necklace.
I had it since I was three years old and
Rarely take it off.
It is the only piece of jewelry that
Matters the most to me.
It is priceless.
Beautiful.
And meaningful.
It allows me to feel close to my
Parents and provide a sense
Of comfort whenever I’m feeling
Anxious, sad, or in my head a lot.
It is mine to keep,
To hold,
To protect,
To show off.
If I ever do end up wearing something
Different around my neck,
Its meaning will not be any less
Than it is now, than it has always
Ever been.
And until I do wear a more meaningful
Necklace, I will treasure this one
Just as much as pirates treasure
Their gold.
Keep being inspired & take care always,
