Hang in There!

I was always fascinated by people's ability to give life and humanizing features to objects. Many girls prefer to sleep with some stuffed animal friend and continue to do so even past their 20s. As we become older the things we get attached to are growing with us as well. Now we are getting attached to more abstract things like songs, cars, businesses or maybe shopping… I know, shopping is an addiction to be fair.

It's really sad because instead of attaching ourselves to other human being we prefer to do this with lifeless objects. This mostly happens because we really don’t trust other people that much and we fear that we might get our heart broken, which could never happen with an object. Every time someone hurts us emotionally we find comfort in our favorite song, hug our favorite stuffed animal or play with our pet. It's too bad people can't seem to trust each other and I don't blame technology for this, it's true that our lifestyle changes extremely fast and we have little time to spend with ourselves and with friends and also make friends.

Most of us get satisfied with having online friends which is not really a good thing because as you know on the internet we can all seem who we want to. I often wonder if way back in the past, the human relationships were much 'real' than today?

My advice would be: try to trust people more, don't be so judgmental and try to know a person better before you judge him or her. Believe me, you can find your soul mate in the strangest places!
