Shoe Therapy

Shoes. Everyone understands shoes. Right? Women understand shoes. Men do, to a degree, but women understand them better.

So, shoes.

There's this one pair of shoes you wear all the time. You wear them because they're comfortable. Sometimes you find another pair of shoes you like, so you buy them, wear them a few times and then they end up at the bottom of your wardrobe with all the other shoes. Sometimes it's nice to have a change, walk around in something new, but you always go back to your favourite pair of shoes because you know them. They make you feel good, but they don't always go with everything.


The thing with shoes is they don't suffer from feelings of rejection or jealousy or attacks of conscience. They're shoes. You can throw them aside and ignore them or go out in another pair of shoes and they don't care. They exist in the moment, there is no past present or future for them. They're simple. Lessons can be learnt from shoes.

As with everything, there are some shoes that are easier to get into than others. There are occasions where you need to make an effort to make the shoes comfortable. But there are times when you just don't want to make that effort, you just want to try them out and give them back. It's easier said than done though.

Shoes. Sometimes I just hate shoes. Bare feet = freedom.
