If you could send 1 message you’ve learned to every person in the world, what would it be? 9 months, 2 weeks ago Favorite Shoes
K.S. LoveLife is like your favorite pair of shoes.
Every step you take is in the right direction,
Even when you’re hesitant.
Growth.Sometimes, you may get a little worn,
Maybe scuffed, but you don’t give up.
Just buy some cleaner
And brush the battle scars off.
Resilience.Then grab some polish to shine them up.
Good as new, on to new beginnings.
Persistence.Why throw away a perfect pair of shoes because they’ve walked a few miles
And don’t smell as fresh as they used to?
You could easily keep using them to step over obstacles and remain grateful for what they’ve gotten you through.
Reflective.When time-worn, they’re at their best because you’ve lived some life in them.
The lessons learned through many journeys is what makes them your favorite.

Lovely poem! I like the analogy between life and old pair of shoes; just cause things aren’t perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to persist through the current situation.
“The lessons learned through many journeys is what makes them your favorite.” I love that quote, and it’s so true. The memories we make is what makes things special.

Wow, I love this!! Your comparisons are unique, and I love your descriptions throughout the poem. Even though what’s on the outside may look different as we age, we never have to let the inside change if we don’t want to. Let your personality shine through, because I can tell you have a great one. Amazing work ♥
