Today while helping out at the shoe shop, a thought came to me. A revelation about shoes and human relationships. The most common questions asked in the shop are,

1) Do you have this in my size?
2) Is there a different colour?
3) Is there a similiar design other than this?

Most of the time, women try on these shoes. You know from their expression that they love it. Still, 90% of these women would ask those 3 questions above.

Don't you think relationships are like shoes?

We try them. We love them. We want to have them all to ourselves. However, we seem to keep looking out for a nice looking pair, something that is more comfortable, something that fits our status better. Even when we find the perfect pair of shoes, we ask the 3 questions all over again.

However, how comfortable is comfortable? Surely, there's a limit to how comfortable our feet can feel with these shoes on. How chic is chic? That's subjective. And how perfect is perfect? Let me share with you something i observed. The happiest customers are those who see, try, fit and buy. Just the first pair they set their eyes on. They didnt ask for other colours, nor did they ask for a more chic design. And when asked if it was comfortable, they just smiled.

We try and try, question and question, not knowing the best pair of shoes are the ones we are already wearing. :)
