MONEY -vs- LOVE
MONEY WINNNNNNSSS!!!
Every time..
When I say that money wins every time it isn’t to say that it’s more important than love. I'm really saying that all relationships are in jeopardy as long as money disagreements go unaddressed. Disagreement also comes in the form of not talking about it at all, looking the other way or simply having a spat and sweeping it under the rug.
All the love in the world isn't going to solve a money problem - money is a relationship in itself or a subcategory as I like to call it within Love. Money symbolizes security and happiness because, to some extent money does provide these things indirectly. My father would always tell me you can’t live on love and love alone someone has to pay the bills son. When your funds are illicit and come by means that your spouse or family doesn’t really approve of you’re caught in a jam, a th*****me with yourself money and love.
Fantasy can be misread - a concept I am exploring for an upcoming art project. The fake and empty smiles when you think you’re providing stability in all things material; a car note, handbags, fancy dinners, the best hotels, front row at the game or the best seats at a concert, a certain level of living. You’re blinded by who you think she thinks you are - you yourself, lose touch with who you really are. The talents you possess that are suppressed and limited. You think that the money is the solution to all of the problems - what keeps everything afloat. Your ability to choose between the power and superficial and most times temporary self esteem that money brings or just being YOU is the determining factor. None of the hype, none of the jewelry, the cars, etc. I will say healthy communication is key! No-one wants to be on a one way ticket to hell ride with no stops.
We must remember that the true currency in life isn’t money but LOVE and the ability to share that love with the people you care about most. CA$H
