Walking the distance

Have you ever walked past a shoe boutique, see a really beautiful pair of shoes and it made you want it so badly that you would kill, rob and steal?

Then you use a long time, saving up, wanting to buy that pair of shoes so badly. Then when you finally bought it, and it fits perfectly. 

Or so, you'd think.

The truth is, you won't know how well that pair of shoes fit you until you start walking. That is when your feet hurt, swelled, hurt and cut. Or worse, that pair of shoes was not meant for long distance resulting in a sprained ankle.

Okay. If you're wondering where am I going with this, wait... I am getting there.

Sometimes when you like someone so much, you want to be with the that person no matter what. Even when the person is not compatible. Even when the person has nothing in common with you. Even when the person is not your type. Even when the person doesn't appreciate you. You hope and hope that everything will work out somehow. But how long will it last?

Do you really think it is possible to be with someone in a long term who you can't communicate with, doesn't share the same ideals and doesn't understand each other? Well, nothing is impossible, but it is highly unlikely to work and usually ends up someone getting hurt.

Sometimes it is just better to know when to give up and when to walk away. Just like choosing a shoe, even though it may be of your size, but in a long run, it will hurt so much that it would be much better to just walk barefooted.
