Oh, won’t you stay? I think you should.
The coffee just came on.
The conversation’s just getting good.
Eye to eye, I know the look
of a paint-chipped colossus, freshly fallen.
But won’t you stay? I think you should.
Many have stood where you once stood.
There’s a song for every swan.
And the conversation’s just getting good.
What do you think you’d change if you could?
There you go again with that timeless joke, the dark and deathly one.
Ha! But won’t you stay? I think you should.
Shall we peek under the reaper’s hood?
Note the bald patch breaking as the dawn?
I told you, the conversation’s just getting good.
Dear friend, if you’re going to lose your way in the wood,
there are a few things you should know—they won’t take long.
Oh, won’t you stay? I think you should.
The conversation’s just getting good.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
