Shoes

It shows how much we have grown, it shows how far we have walked. It protects us from external damage, it provides enough friction to walk without falling. We always try to get the most comfortable ones we can find, but we all know that we will grow out of it someday, and will need bigger ones to fit.

But sometimes, just sometimes, these shoes seem too big to fill. Sometimes it feels that I have not grown enough to wear them. Sometimes the wrong fit will expose a person to more injuries, being more prone to falling. Looking back, even though the old pair was getting tight, it was snug, was comfortable, was getting the feel of old shoes, so hard to let go.

There will come another time when once again, the big shoes turn comfortable, another time where change will be necessary. To get a brand new bigger shoe with better friction, to give enough space to grow, to embrace the new. Yes, old shoes are the most comfortable, but no one likes a person wearing the same pair of worn out shoes forever.

So fill up those new shoes. Grow up. Cos the old ones are gone, and new ones are getting bigger.
