Shoes and Relationships

A great Relationship is as good and as a great pair of shoes!

How so you ask?

Well let me explain. Now i know the girls will get this straight away, but guys, this can relate to you as well.

Shoes come in so many different designs, sizes, colours, widths, heights. They can be pointy, wide, long, short, highheeled or flat, boots or shoes, etc. Some will look great to start with, then after a while they will start hurting, causing blisters and you end up never wearing them again. Or even throwing them out. ( Ok ok I hear you…How dare I say such a thing.)
Others you’ll know pretty much when you try them on that there not for you. Eventually after all the falls, cuts and bruises, sights of you staggering around in what appeared as a drunken state, when you hadnt even touched a drop, you will have learned, hopefully, what you suits your needs. This is when you will amazingly come across a pair, when you least expect, that you will know are just right for you.

Now let me ask you this: Think of your favorite pair of shoes and what makes them your favorite?
Now let me guess, you said something along the lines of “they make you feel great, and look SO good on, go well with quite a few of your outfits, they compliment you, support you the way you want them to, and they make you stand tall and confident. Not to mention all the comments and compliments you get right?
Now how often do you find a pair that do all these things for you? I think very rarely, hence why we have more than one or two, or for some dozens of pairs. Not to mention the fact that what they costs us as well and how long it takes to find such a pair.

Now we are just talking about shoes, that really only go on our feet.

Sounding familiar? Now I was talking about shoes right..or was I?

I was, but also talking about relationships. This is true for both shoes AND for Relationships.

Think about it. Think about your past relationships and what you liked and disliked about them. Do you think that if you carefully looked at them all , you would have a fair idea what you really want in a new pair…oops sorry, I meant relationship?
And with that knowledge, does it make it clearer for you to know what you are looking for? Its ok to try different relationships on, to see if they fit, and to then decide if they dont, move on to the next until you find the one you deserve.

Yeah I hear some of you say its easier said than done, but its the same with everything in life. Hello? There are over 6 Billion people on this rock we live. Not that you will need to try that many on, but I think you should be getting my drift here right?

You deserve that dont you?

YES..of course you do. As with the wrong relationship, blisters will appear, you will struggle to walk tall, the cuts and bruises and pain, within your heart, soul and feelings, will be there.

So when considering your next relationship, dont just settle for just any ‘shoe’.

Choose what you really deserve, cause these “shoes” could be with you for the rest of your life.

Til next time,

JM!
