Shoes and Relationships.

Please don't think that I am shallow -- comparing love and shoes, but if you think about it, the two are the same.  Let me tell you how they are similar.

It has to be the perfect fit.  When you find love, it should make you happy, you should both agree on some things, it may not be everything but I think it's just fair that you have something in common with your partner.  Just like shoes, it has to match your taste, may it be color or style.

It should be long-lasting. And I am talking about shoes. But seriously, when you find yourself a partner, don't you wish that the person is the one?  You would want that person to be the one you will spend the rest of your life with, through thick and thin?

It should be reliable. And that's how your partner should be, someone who will never leave you no matter how bad and ugly things are.  Someone who you can lean on, someone who will make you feel safe.

It should be fun. Relationships should be fun too, talking about serious matters all the time can greatly affect your expectations when these things are not met.  Relationships should be like the rainbow, colorful and full of life.

When you are trying to find yourself a partner, think of shoes.  Is this person the one who you can take long journeys ahead, someone who will not break when the weather is bad, someone who you can have fun with? Is he someone you can count on when no one is there but you.  Does it fit you right and most importantly, there should be no regrets, just like shoes, it may take awhile before you can find what you want, and once you have it, never let it go.

I have 42 pairs of shoes, and hopefully He is my perfect match.
