Old Pair of Shoes

Read a post this morning and it goes well with the quote I posted this morning.

First quote:

"I may not be someone's first choice, but I'm a great choice. I may not be rich, but I'm valuable. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past, but I'm proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect, but I don't need to be. Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away!" - Unknown

Friend's Post:

"If it's going to be hard for you to choose between me and someone else, just choose the other person because I am not an option."

I don't understand why people think it's ok to treat others like a pair of shoes. Decide one day that your are wearable, then find a new pair tomorrow. We are not shoes, we should not be treated as such. Would you want to be treated like an old pair of shoes? Something someone can go back to when all else fails?

When you make a commitment to something or someone, stick with it. Otherwise, decide ahead of time that you don't want to commit to anything until you've done some growing up.
