Started thinking of this on when i was running today haha  

Why is it that these days men are often seen by women as threatening, users, or weak.. rather than leaders, strong and secure? 

And women are seen as a pleasure fulfillment, lacking self worth and an object or easy.. rather than strong, supportive, and beautiful? 

And that both are seen as deceiving or a temporary escape. 

Love has been misunderstood as predominantly physical and lacking fulfillment, it is much more than that. Love is the forgiveness after a fight, love is understanding no one is perfect, yet love does also not take advantage. Love does not leave like a train hopping from station to station.. it is persistent and constant. 

Love is not a coupon to cash in whenever you feel its a good deal. 

It is the old couple you get jealous of, wondering how they did it and hope to do the same. 

Love is like a marathon, it's hard work and you feel like giving up, it might even bring you to your knees forcing you to crawl back. 

However, beauty is seen and strength is gained during the journey, it is not a sprint.. it takes time. 

Its the comfort you find in the little things, it is standing next to you when it seems like everyone else has turned their backs. 

It is holding onto your hand during the storm. True love never leaves your side... yes, It seems commitment and this true Love have been lost in translation. 

But its so hard to see clearly when the glasses given to us by society are the wrong prescription. 

We find value in these "knock off Louboutins". Always trying to strut the best style and envying when others have the latest version. Wanting to take them off and see the world for what it really is, or even start over with some corrective lasik. 

Why are these glasses so tempting and easy to wear? .. because almost everyone has them. 

We all know these prescriptions are skewing our vision and making the eyes given to us worse, and yet we all still hide behind the security of what we think to be normal. 

Then even when we find the right prescription the sad thing is, we still find ourselves putting on the old knock offs, not realizing how funny we look wearing two different pairs with two different prescriptions. 

Its said that eyes are the windows to one's soul ..no wonder why honesty and real connection are hard to come by. Our eyes cannot share their true worth while trying to focus on fallacies.
