Hey people,
I have wanted to blog about this for a while now, but I guess I always found a reason not to or did not really have the motivation it took to write it. I guess I do now.
Have you ever realised that some times we let certain factors stop us from being who we want to be and expressing ourselves the way we choose to?
Well, I noticed that a few months back when I realised that I had started wearing flats 98% of the time, I didn't really fancy the clothes I had and I didn't really feel all-so confident in them.
You see, I grew up with loads of high heels, I had heels while I was a kid (not too high) and the inches on the heels grew as I got older. I felt comfortable in heels. Flats were uncomfortable for me because I wasn't used to the feel of them, their shape and how my close my feet were in contact to the floor while wearing them. I also grew up wearing all sorts of fancy clothes. I went through phases and I wasn't really a fan of dresses, but as I got older (even before I was thirteen), I would wear elegant dresses and skirts and feel so beautiful and confident in what I was wearing.
In case some of you didn't know this, I was bullied for quite a significant amount of years and I guess that being bullied and also seeing people who were, for the lack of a better phrase, classified as the "popular kids," I tried to fit in with them in the area of fashion. Also, people had, in a way, made fun of me wearing heels and asking who I was getting all dressed up for and so on. So, I guess I started feeling like I was not supposed to wear heels and like I'll be better off just in flats (thinking about it now, maybe those girls just found heels way too painful or hard for them to walk in back then).
