Infatuation

I’m breaking my mold a bit with today’s post, and honestly I may go on a rant, so I apologize in advance for what’s about to happen.

There are some things that really get under my skin.  We all have those certain things that just rub us the wrong way.   Mine is infatuation.  I’ve come to really hate the mentality that people have to look a certain way in order to be cute, successful, etc.  I feel like the media and Hollywood has done an amazing job at making us drool over people because that’s just the thing to do.

If you make x amount of dollars, wear your Armani suit just right, have a six pack, (I’m only using guy examples because I understand them better, but it goes both ways with the ridiculous presumptions), then you are to be adored by millions, regardless of who you are as a person.

Honestly it makes me sick.  Like I said I don’t mean to bore you with a rant, but..well I have to a little bit.

I think more than the false image that we’ve learned to expect, I dislike the fact of infatuation with those things. Because we grow up thinking those are the great things and the things to go after we have guys and girls who are literally infatuated with people they don’t even know based on their looks, or the status quo image they uphold.  I’m sorry but this is bull-crap.  Total and completely.

What’s even harder for me is when people who are married still go googly eyed over other people….you really don’t want to even get me started on that one.

Suffice it to say that I really believe we need to place much more emphasis on who someone is, the core of them, not the way they look, sound, or spend, because in the end those things really mean absolutely nothing.
