i think this might have been the very first item on my list when i joined this website like 4 years ago.
i removed it not because i dont want to be positive, but because after looking at the rest of my list i realised its more of a way of living and a continuous thing, not really an achievement or goal like the other stuff.
but, i do think since i first created that goal a few years back, i am now in a more positive mindset and just overall more grateful…i think being positive is about being grateful, expanding your horizons, meeting all the different kinds of people you can, helping others, learning from mistakes, not feeling guilty, having a sense of humor about life, wanting to discover all that the world has to offer (even if you never leave your own backyard), and most of all realising your self-worth.

someone told me a long time ago the key to wearing heels is to keep your weight on your actual heels of your feet; never your toes or anywhere else.
i personally think heels are overrrated. i used to love them, and wear them a lot.
but then one day i thought ‘why am i wearing these wretched uncomfortable things??’
true, some are more comfy than others. usually the more expensive you go, the more comfy they are, but not always. at least now the wedges and wider heels are sort of in style, and those are DEFINITELY more comfortable than stilettos. and heels are the epitome of being girly and sexy, which i cant deny is enticing.

i just cringe when i see women looking uncomfortable hobbling in heels. i just want to scream, ‘theyre not worth it! guys dont give a hoot what you’re wearing on your feet anyway!’
every now and then i see a woman in heels with a fierce walk, who looks as though she LIVES in those things. then a tinge of jealousy comes. heheh.

but…. heels SUCK and can actually be quite scary when you are:
-walking on a boardwalk, say at the beach or island
-in the sand
-on a cobblestone street
-in the city walking on metal grates in sidewalks
-in the snow/ice
-looking down a steep set of stairs
-stepping onto/off of the metro
-on an escalator
-on ber ber carpet, or shag carpet for that matter
-in soggy grass
-in a huge hurry to run to class/work/away from a predator! (well you get the point)

so.. there were just too many cons for me, and i pretty much gave them up for more comfortable shoes. im a much happier person because of it! i still wear heels on occasion, but comfy ones like wedges or the lowest heel i can get away with while still being fashionable.

as for outrageous, tall, painful even to look at stilettos? i save those for the bedroom ;)

i finally got another job after a long dry spell of only doing ‘gigs.’ it starts in two weeks which is awesome, i can just relax and enjoy the rest of summer! im prepared to hate it, but at least i’ll be back in the mix and making some money
