Labels

It seems that many people’s “high maintenance” comments have related being "high maintenance" to the love of labels. If this is the case (which I disagree with), I would argue that then everyone is in fact then “high maintenance”. Don’t we all actually have a love for labels?

There are Coke A Cola drinkers who would never drink a Pepsi. There are McDonalds lovers who think Burger King is disgusting. There are wine connoisseurs that would never drink 2 buck chuck, argyle wearers who think no one but J Crew makes an argyle, and those Apple fans that are convinced that everything else is a type writer. Regardless of the product, everyone has their personal preference. That is why there are so many products to choose from.

Man or woman, we like what we like. From Playtex to Tampax or Charmin to Cottonelle, everyone has a “label” that fits them best. It is natural to find something that we like and stick with it. So what that you buy expensive designer jeans, if they fit you best and you can afford them go for it. It is difficult to find the right pair of jeans for your body type, so once you find it you never want anything else. Men, maybe you like shopping at Home Depot over Lowes or you enjoy Papa Johns over Pizza Hut, is that not also love for a label?

The problem becomes when the label defines you. The items that you prefer to buy should be what makes you happy but not what defines you. A smart man once said to me “Sure, if you like that than have it just remember that times may not always be this good so you may not be able to have that always. Just be comfortable in making needed adjustments in your life.” I think that is important. We should enjoy the things in life we love weather it is shoes, cars, or cinnamon rolls but everything must come in moderation and it must not be what molds our personalities.

Never be afraid to step outside of your box and try something you thought you didn’t like. While I love my nice shoes, I can always find a good pair at Target too. I have always been a Coke drinker, but I do enjoy the occasional Pepsi. Regardless if I am wearing jeans and tee or stilettos and a dress, you always know what you’re gonna get.
