Love and Shoes by Can Yucel
Feet carry the weight of the body; heart carries the weight of the soul.
For your feet that carry all your weight and put up with your fatigue, you choose both comfortable and pretty shoes.
For your heart that carries all the pain, troubles, disappointments and dreams, you look for a comforting and a "pretty" love.

Loves are like shoes anyway...

Some of them endures rain, dirt, snow, ice, all kinds of "bad conditions".
And some of them "loses its shape" in a time shorter than you expected, 
in the first rainy day
"its sole gets punctured" or even in sunny days "it gets old before you know it".
If you don't choose loves as "carefully" as shoes, you could get corn on your heart just like you could on your feet.
If you buy a shoe that's small for you but you've believed the seller who said "it stretches in time" and buy it only because you liked its style, "deformation" starts in your bones.
If you stay in a love that narrows your soul just because you of the appearance and made yourself believe that it will "change over time", you'll see the positive feelings inside you "warped" in time.
The types of person you'd fall in love with, as in shoes, are in countless
number of styles, qualities and "colours"....

People who think love is an adventure and live it like it is a sport, finds people who are just like sport shoes, eye-catching and comfortable.

On the contrast if they choose to be conservative and determined, they fall for people
who has a conservative side like "classical shoes".
There are loves which are lit by pleasures of sex and fun like décolleté shoes.
"Beach" shoes are short-lived and "summer loves" exist pretty much in everyone's personal history.
You would see lovers who "fall" for their lover's career and wealth as if
they're buying a shoe just for its "brand".
You surely know people who want to live "practical" ergo make logical
decisions (about their love life) as if they're buying long boots made of
thick plastic.
And oddly enough, it is said that people who have "weakness" in psychology
tests yet they bring tons of shoes in their home, have also a weakness
in the "various" type of loves.
Yes, loves are "shoes" Just like if you don't show the necessary care in
your shoes and use them "harshly" they'll get old easily, if you don't do
the same thing about your loves they'll "get old" in the blink of an eye.
And just like when you get a "punctured" shoe repaired, you would extend its
use for only "some time"; when you try to repair a "punctured" love "it
will never be the same"!
