I’ve noticed a direct correlation between how happy I am with my life and the frequency that I go without shoes.
I’ve been wearing shoes a lot lately.

When you live this far underground, you appreciate sunlight a lot more. When it heats your skin, you know you’re alive. When you live like I do you better understand why some people take things for granted.

I showed up. Nobody expected me to but I’m pretty sure it’s what they wanted, so I showed up the other night. With a single rose in hand, I made her jaw drop when she walked through the door. She ran and wrapped her arms around me. She was elated to see me. I felt on top of the world.
She took my hand and together we walked to the crowd. I was greeted with smiles and polite introductions. They’ve heard so much about me. I’m certain only good things. ‘What are you doing here?’ Their tone reassured my bold move. Rest assured- I did the right thing. ‘I couldn’t let her go without a proper goodbye.’ She smiled.
Wait, wait, wait.
That didn’t happen.
I showed up. Nobody expected me to and I’m not sure if it’s what they wanted, but I showed up the other night. With a single rose in hand, I made my appearance when she walked through the door. She saw me, but didn’t look my way. She didn’t know how to react. I felt uneasy about the entire exchange.
She took me aside and together we walked away from the crowd. I was greeted with doubting eyes and dubious questions. They’ve hear so much about me. The good with the bad, I’m sure. ‘What are you doing here?’ Her tone put me on the defense. ‘I couldn’t let you go without a proper goodbye.’ She rolled her eyes.
Wait, wait, wait.
That didn’t happen either.
I didn’t show up. I’m not sure if they expected me to, but I don’t think they wanted me there. I didn’t buy that single rose and I didn’t make an appearance. She didn’t see me and didn’t react. I felt confident that my decision was the right one.
She couldn’t have taken me aside, or my hand for that matter. I wasn’t greeted by anyone. They had heard so much about me. That night, I’m positive it was only the negative. ‘What are you doing here,’ is how they would have said it. Their tone would have hurt me. I let her go without a proper goodbye. She cried.
