Chapter thirty-nine: welcome mats

"I feel like we're welcome mats all of a sudden." she says as we lay down the grass, the winds caressing our cheeks

"But why would you think of that?"

"Because we welcome and let people in our lives and most of the time we let people step on us and all we can do is feel helpless about it and feel sorry for ourselves. We get filled with thoughts and scars just as mats are covered in dirts. We can get torn to pieces by the people that made us. Its just so sad isn't it?"

"Yeah it is. But you're forgetting something though."

"What?" her forehead creased.

"Well, someone is going to be there and someone is going to care about you enough and wash away all the thoughts and scars, but not all of it. They'll leave stains though. Stains to help you remember how strong you've been enough to welcome people in your life again." I say and smile at her.

"Just like welcome mats?"

"Just like welcome mats."
