A penny for your thoughts...

I was at the post office today and there was a cup that said, "A penny for your thoughts"

I see this quote everywhere...

Never really understood it...

But when I walked out of the Student Center, I start thinking about a lot of things...

Family.

Church.

Christmas.

My lovely roommates.

How my tummy was hungry.

Friends from afar.

Old memories.

Memories to make.

How I love school.

Ways I can improve my own life. 

I guess you can say that was 10 cents for my thoughts.

The more I thought about these 10 things...the bigger my smile got.

I've never really thought about life like that.

"A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar.

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing

Funny, when you're dead how people start listening..."

-A Band Called Perry

This verse of "If I Die Young" is brilliant.
I think it's one of my top 5 favorite lyrics.
Why?
Many reasons.
