Labels

What’s a girl to do? In a world full of people that hate the thought of being labeled, why is it we care so much about those we have yet to label? Why is it we put so much importance on the actions of someone that isn’t even ours? As girls, words, gestures, smiles, looks, can all translate into a whirl of emotions and feelings, they all translate into actions that make us become something to someone. They are currency for love. He puts his hand on yours, you fall harder and faster no matter who he is. Boyfriend or no boyfriend our hearts don’t discriminate when it comes to letting someone in. But the situation can be even more precarious when you have no label for that person. He is as much yours, as he is to the next girl that walks into the room. Even then, when labels do come to exist, a girl is never really certain of how solid the label is. Another person can just come and rip it off or the glue can dull and the edges can begin to curl up. So how do you live in a world full of label haters, you find security in yourself. Security in the fact, that those that don’t let you put a label on them are not worthy of one in the first place. Those who don’t open their hearts for you to come in and embrace them aren’t worthy of you doing the same. And those who are intelligent and strong enough to let you label them, should only do so with the security that you must also have, that you can trust that person to not take their label off so easily. Labels should be a scarce commodity. We don’t have an infinite supply, because our hearts can only handle so much. Our hearts can only handle healing itself so many times after a label has been taken off and discarded. So above all guard your heart, and guard your labels.
