The New Mainstream Shoes

In a world where online dating has taken us by storm, there are those of us out there that are trying to resist the urge to suddenly don the mainstream shoes.

With entire world working together to make it easier to meet people, to make the world a smaller place, and making it easier to connect, are we really making a better connection? Are we really making it easier to find our soul mates… or is it just becoming a bigger and bigger pile to go through before we find our soul mate?

This new mainstream world is kind of like the chuck shoes. There was a point in time where every person you met had a pair of these really cute looking all-star shoes in all different colors. Unfortunately no one ever discussed the blisters, cuts, and uncomfortableness we all had to go through to break into these shoes. For the desire to become mainstream, we all donned these shoes, and ignored all the blisters, cuts, and pain we had to go through to wear them. Kind of like online dating, has the cost of finding our soul mate become so high, that the price we pay along the way has become worth it?

Whether you decide to mainstream or not, bottom line is, the search, the process, the blisters and pain, perhaps bring us one step closer to finding the person we are looking for. So to deal with the blisters and cuts, lets make sure we have our bandages on to prevent the cuts and scars, and always keep in mind that the decision to mainstream or not has a greater purpose behind it all. Sole-ful living :)
