I bought a new pair of high heels. They're adorable. Royal blue, suede, super tall. They're fun. They make me feel good. But they hurt. They kill my feet. But I don't stop wearing them. Were they worth the money? Was that a wise investment? Probably not. I'm just paying for pain.
I've found dating to be like trying to find the perfect pair of shoes. You see them on the shelf, you try them on, you walk around in the store and you fall in love. But then you look at the price. Are you willing to spend that much? It seems like a good deal so you buy them. The next day when you're wearing them for eight hours and you'd rather walk on broken glass than wear those shoes...you get bombarded with regret. I spent my hard earned money on something I'm growing to detest!
The key to dating, in my opinion, is knowing you're worth. Instead of asking if the shoe is worth the price, ask yourself if the shoe is worthy of you. Know your worth and don't settle for less. You can confess your love to the shoe all you want, but if it's not returned...if you can't wear the shoe without being in pain...what's the point?
So now I'm left with these awesome pair of shoes - ones that made me feel amazing - but wearing them hurts. I keep thinking to myself that maybe if I just break them in they won't hurt so much. But is a broken heart - correction, broken feet - worth it?
