Window Shopping

You’re out but not necessarily looking for anything in particular; just hoping something catches your eye. When you see it in the window, you smile. You’re thinking, that would look nice on me, I would look good in that, and I can work with it. Then, you say, “Nah!” that might to be what I want, I don’t know if I’m ready to make that investment, and maybe it won’t be my size.” In reality, you won’t know until you try it own. Don’t worry about the price you’ll pay for it because when you realize that it looks nice on your, and you look good in that, and you worked it, then the cost would’ve been worth it-even if you decide you don’t want it anymore, or you have to put it to the back of the closet.

Window shopping is used as a metaphor to how we approach relationships. We aren’t always looking for the perfect man/woman, but sometimes one comes our way and take our breath away. Sometimes we go out looking, and what we find isn’t what we were looking for-then refuse to buy into love again. Love isn’t perfect. It’s about investing time, patience, respect, honesty, and effort. It doesn’t always work out as we hope, and sometimes it does. Starting a new relationship is like window shopping; you have to try it on and see how it feels. You have to walk around in it, and see if it conforms to your needs and expectations. And as long as you work at making it fit right, look right, and feel right then you have invested well.
