Forget Goodyear - Invest in a tire that will stand the test of time

You’re riding along the familiar roads of your relationship when it happens… “SMACK” you hit a bump in the road that seems to take out the whole front end. Not your typical pothole, but a crater made by a meteor landing on your heart. You travel along a little bit, and begin to hear, that “blip” sound in rhythmic intervals, and realize you need to stop the car and check it out.

So you step out of the relationship to get a better perspective on things. And, the first thing you look for is the phone number of a friend you know is always on point to “listen” to your issues. He's been waiting patiently in the trunk of your heart for you to hit that “blow out your tire bump”. He’s not been contributing to the road conditions or even getting in the way of the flow of your relationship, but he has basically been there through the struggles, as a friend. So you ask yourself, “should I jack this baby up and slap on the spare tire or struggle with a donut that’s only going to take me a few miles down the road?”

Solution – Jack it up and slap it on! If he’s the kind of friend that has been there through the ages, seen many flats, and witness to some patchwork of the heart allow him to take a ride with you. Experience the road if you will. But be prepared for the consequences. If the tire you just took off can still be repaired without being discarded then you have to ask yourself what do you really want?
