Ok so some fun facts here. Those are military shoulder straps. Most modern uniforms use them to affix epaulets that show rank to.

However their original use was to hold ammo bags, bayonets, and other military gear in place while it was slung over your shoulder.

The reason they show up on so many commercial jackets these days is because a lot of fashion designs have their roots in military uniform designs.

You are a Cupid that shoots arrows at people with low self-esteem to help them love themselves more. Describe a typical day for you.

A boy passed me by on the street
And as he walked tears fell at his feet
It wasn’t long before he had himself collected
Only to walk some more and be rejected

“Oh boy, can’t you see
That what you can be
Will set your heart
Free?”

Well, you surely didn’t, that I know
So it was up to me to show
I pointed my arrows at your heart so sore
For you to love yourself,  a little more.
