First let me say, I love these shoes. They are dressier than
sneakers or my dr. martens and they look great with my jeans that are just a
shade long.
I have long legs and a long stride from lots of walking but
I find I have to adapt my stride when I wear these shoes. Not only that but
since healing from a broken ankle I find myself being very careful when I have
them on. I don’t walk with confidence, or assurance. I don’t walk like I do
with my sneakers, with certainty. Yet I keep the shoes, shoes that scare me
just a little when I wear them.
I have to wonder how many other “things” or “behaviors” am I
hanging onto. Things that force me to walk in uncertainty, without assurance.
Why am I hanging onto behaviors that scare me a little or cause me to not be sure
where I’m putting my feet.
I think it’s time to do a closet cleaning and get rid of
things that I think look good but don’t allow me to live without thinking about
every move I make. It’s not just about comfort, it’s about being who I am. It’s
about striding through life confidently, without fear with certainty of who I
am….not who I think I wish I was.
