Okay, hopefully I don't lose you on this one. So the other night in a drunken stupor, after listening to a woman complain about how she "can't find a good man". It occurred to me that too often we treat ourselves as paper plates. Before you wrinkle your nose and ask "what the hell is he talking about", let me explain. A paper plate seriously only has one purpose, it's designed to be used once and thrown away. When we buy paper plates they come in packs with multiple plates and normally constructed out of very cheap materials. So how do we treat ourselves like paper plates you ask? I'm glad you did; By going through relationship after meaningless relationship, we have reverted and marked ourselves as disposable, unimportant, meaningless ourselves. No one ever buys paper plates thinking "I think I will hang onto this for a while", no instead we try to find as many as we can for the cheapest price. My point if you ask now is we should all aspire to be fine china, something that takes time to pick out. Fine china carries value with it, we buy cases, stands and even plaques for it, you've never seen anyone display a paper plate before, and if you did...I'm sorry you had to see that. Fine china has so many different factors that go into choosing the perfect one; weight, size, design, color scheme, does it fit with the existing decor. The only decor a paper plate matches well with is a red solo cup and a trash bag. So if your expecting to find fine china, aka a good woman/man. Then you need to begin to treat yourself like fine china as well; don't be disposable, be valuable, don't be a bargain, be worth it, don't be short term, be infinite. If you're content being a disposable than you can't expect to find value in any relationship you enter into, regardless of if you are male or female. If you are satisfied with being a bargain than you should assume your significant other will not attempt to make you feel worth it. If you expect a lasting and meaningful relationship than stop having a short term mindset. In essence if you want to find a relationship that you are truly satisfied with...then stop being a paper plate! |
