You ever heard the phrase "Diamond's Are A Girl's Best Friend?"
I certainly have, and if you haven't than you've probably been living under a rock for the last 60 years. It's an idea that sounds very practical to me, and something that I very much agree with.
So far, I've only succeeded in making myself sound like a shallow gold digger, but truthfully, I'm not.
At least, I don't consider myself one.
Where does love get us? Have you ever heard of happy poor people?
They're hard to come by.
Money is a necessity, something we can't live without. Even if you're not the one making your own money the government's providing you with the money you need to exist.
I've never heard of a grocery store that takes love as a currency. I know we, at Target (which is my place of employment. Yay $8 an hour!), certainly don't.
I've never heard of a bank that checks your love score to qualify you for a loan.
I've never heard of a car dealership who'll sell you a car with no love down payment.
I've never heard of an infomercial that asked for only 3 easy payments of love.
Basically, the point I'm trying to make,
Love will not find a way
There are mountains too high for love to conquer
Nobody will always love you
Love can cross us one time, but it most likely won't last for a lifetime.
Don't get me wrong, here, I'm a firm believer in love. I believe in all sorts. Familial love, friendly love, romantic, spiritual, tasteless, young love. Yes, yes. I very much do.
The thing is that I've spoken with too many silly young girls, read too many Facebook statuses, seen too many movies, and read too many books that all try to make us believe that there is something that can overcome anything.
(I bet you can guess what that something they're referring to is).
But it can't. We're all human, with animal instincts at heart. Our emotions fade and time cripples us. We've all come to rely too much on the materialistic things in life.
