I am 20 Dollars

Do you ever feel used? Do you ever feel like you never get to be the crisp 20 dollar bill that everyone wants.... you just get to be the crumpled up, been-through-the-wash-in-someone's-pants, worn out and torn 20 dollar bill? The latter 20 dollar bill is me lately. You might even be the lost twenty dollar bill. People still care about you, but you are on the back burner until one day you will magically reappear in those old jeans. You will then be treated like the 'new' 20 dollar bill. I think everyone wants me for my 'stuff'. But not in the literal sense. People want to use me because there isn't anyone else to hang out with in this small college town, people want to use me to get rides to places they want to go(but not really with me), and people want to use me for my apartment. You know when you feel bad handing the cashier at the grocery store that 20 dollar bill that is barely recognizable? Yep. That's me. I know that someday I will get to be the crisp, pressed, send-to-your-grandson-on-his-birthday-in-a-cute-card kind of 20 dollar bill. The moral of the story is no matter whether you are lost, torn, broken, taped right down the middle, crumpled or been through the wash too many times, you are still worth the full 20 dollars. And one day people will treat you like you are worth your full value. But until then..... just remember what you are worth. Don't let anyone tell you anything different.
