shorty

only recently have i begun to wear shoes without a heel. growing up in hawaii, all i ever wore were rubber slippers. during the day of school, sometimes your rubber slipper would break and it was cool to walk around for the rest of the day barefoot. no one would look at you weird or make fun of you, they just knew your slipper broke.

when i went off to college i was floored. i spent the first month simply staring. the other girls have fake boobs, fake hair, fake nails, fake tans and HUGE shoes! i was so amazed. i decided i was going to be sophisticated and wear big shoes too. so i did. for the last 10 years it has been rare to see without semi-platforms or slippers with a heel.

about 6 months ago i decided i don't like heels anymore. i have packed the majority of them away into the back of closet. it feels so good to just be short again!
