Meeting new people is one of the biggest challenges in life. Why? It’s uncomfortable, unusual, and often times it gets sweaty. In fact, meeting new people is a lot like a new pair of shoes. Just as people are different, shoes are different. They come in unique shapes, some are ugly, some are fabulous, some of them you can’t afford, and some you’re just too big for.
When I first met my pair of Liz Claiborne’s, I didn’t know what to think of them. I was never keen on weaved wedges, so I walked past them with judgment. Still, my friend encouraged me to try them on. Once they were on my feet, something about the shoes caught my eye. I checked them out before talking myself out of spending the 50 dollars. As I started walking with them, I felt awkward with the extra 4 inches. I had never had been so tall with any other shoe before. Eventually, I felt comfortable with my new shoes and just started running around like mad in them. And after almost 3 three summers with my favorite shoes, I was now a 6 1/2.
There are many types of people in the world not everyone will be a friend and not every shoe will belong to you. If one shoe doesn’t fit, don’t get discouraged because there are many more. But if you find a pair that catches your eye, buy them. New shoes may come with a love-hate relationship, but don’t take them back just yet because you just might end up loving them.
