The Loyal-Royal Emerald

Even if we can't find heaven, 

I'll walk through hell with you.

Love, you're not alone,

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you. 

-Stand by you, By Rachel Platten

The singer is probably promising that she would always remain loyal and support the person, through all walks of life. Even if he can’t get exactly where he wants to be, or get what he wants to get, she intends to stay by this person’s side. Through thick and thin, she promises that she would always have his back. In case the person does not achieve success, she assures him that he would not be deserted and she would help him face every hardship of life.

These emotions are all marvelous in theory. But with practical thinking, how many of us stay true to our promises of loyalty? Today, loyalty is measured through a post on Instagram. People have stopped appreciating real loyalty. Heck, people have stopped recognizing real loyalty. 

According to the dictionary, loyalty is "a strong feeling of support and allegiance". Well, according to Miss Peppermint, loyalty does not stop at support. Loyalty is thinking for the betterment of the other person, over your own selfish motives.

Everyone likes being appreciated for the efforts and sacrifices s/he makes. If you just brush past someone who went out of their way to do something nice for you, you're probably gonna lose an emerald. You're probably gonna lose someone who would stand by you. 

And now for a Peppermintal piece of advice

If you come across a real loyal person, hold on to them. They are made in very small numbers and you don't wanna lose them.

Miss Peppermint asks; Have you come across/lost a real loyal person before? Let me know in the comments section down below!
