Commitment Issues...

This morning, I noticed my friend massaging something into her scalp and I asked what it was. She told me it was castor oil. Seeing as, over the past 2 years, I have witnessed her use various products on her hair (which is still like it was when I first met her), I couldn’t help but take a jab at her and ask how long she thought her experiment with castor oil would last.

We then entered an interesting conversation where she talked about how she has used several products on her hair and body and described herself as a product junkie (I really love that term, I don’t know exactly why).

Then we talked about how we both found it difficult to stay committed to products, beauty regimen, diets and work out plans…we swapped tales of how we easily caught on to the new fads and dumped the old ones we once swore by; we cursed about how much we had spent on certain products (I wont forget the story about the hair growth pills that cost about 10k which she didn’t use for up to 2 weeks), we entered into a love/hate chorus of accounts we follow on Instagram that featured owners with flawless skin, fabulous hair and obvious discipline where fitness and dieting were concerned.

Then out of the blues, I said “perhaps this inability to commit to products is the reason we are both single”

Naturally, she was confused (as I suppose you are too)…but think about it; if a person has difficulty committing to products (that are supposed to be good for the body), wouldn’t that same person also have difficulty committing to another person and/or a relationship?

She and I talked about it a bit and eventually agreed that there has to be a correlation…we even went on to agree that committing to work was so easy for both of us because we subconsciously understood that the job was necessary to survive and as humans, our survival comes 1^st.

So, what do you think? Are relationship commitment issues indicated in a person’s lack of commitment to smaller things like beauty products, diet plans and work out routines?
