Love These Shoes?

 

 

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.
