Life and Shoe Choices

Life as I look at it is like finding the right pair of shoes.  It’s like trying on different styles and fitting on different sizes.

In the end, what matters is what your heart feels about it and how you stride on it. 

How many times do we need to stumble just because the fit is not right?

How many times do we have to get over those old shoes? Let go and move on to the next?

And nobody dares to say that it is but easy.

But just like looking for shoes, we always have our choices.

Same with the choices I make in life, I have each pair to justify it.

I play favorites too, like those that I never miss to wear from time to time. Same with the people I value and care about.

 I toss shoes that suck too. Like those old and tight shoes that hurt my feet. Cheap shoes are easy to go with but they are the easiest to throw. 

Wearing heels has been hell at times, but there are always flats shoes to save my feet. As I am being saved by my loved ones in tough times.

Sometimes I am left with a pair that just doesn’t fit. It’s hard to let go but I am on to the one available. With much better size and comfort.

There are those I dream about of having. Those I have been working hard to afford.

And of course, there are pairs that are worth keeping no matter how old they are for their memories and stories.

Like Cinderella, I’ve been dreaming of that one perfect fit as well and I am more than lucky to have it.

I realized, life choices are like my shoe preferences.  

At the end of each shoe challenge is a beautiful beginning.
