A lot of us especially those who are heartbroken and in pain feel that at times they are neglected. I feel you dude, I for one, have been there too. But are we really neglected? We have friends, we have our family and we have all the other things that actually make life worthwile. If I had to choose something that is neglected the most, I'd probably pick my shoes. Sometimes we are so consumed of the bad things, we forgot the things that helped us move on and be happy. Our shoes experience the harshest conditions and the most challenging circumstances in our individual lives, at least physically. They protect us from almost anything - from dirty roads, mud, thorns and even teeny-tiny worms. But afterall, that's what they're made of. Shoes are made for walking. I'm glad actually. They carry your weight (heavy or not) yet they take you to unexpected places - a witness to your journey, my journey for example.
I have tons of paperwork and studying to do for finals but here I am blogging myself away. Just realized how lucky I am to have shoes when others do not own even a single pair. Spare me now for I am experiencing a little, let's say, depression maybe? and the only thing that kept me going was my little red shoe.
I left home today feeling kinda down which explains my whole black-rocker-inspired-look - Jet black pants, faded black kiss shirt and of course, the only thing that brightened up my gloomy outfit - my red shoe. To make things worse, it started raining. And i thought about my shoes, they're gonna get wet and soon enouh they'll be ruined and i have to throw them out again. Which is such a waste of money and emotional investment. I have grown to love them and just because I used them on the wrong day destroyed them and so on. 
Forgive me for a very pixelated photo but these are the photos with my red shoe when i was travelling to my destination. The first and the second one is on a tricycle. I was riding from my house to the jeepney terminal just so i can ride the v-hire going to SM. I wandered around the mall looking at people's shoes. Sad though that I wasn't able to take pictures of them. It would be rude right? Soon I'll have to do that though given the time and opportunity of course. When it was past 12:45 i bought brownies for my closest friends at school and rode the taxi which explains the 3rd photo. See how a shoe could see all your adventures and misadventures? Not that my day was getting interesting...
And after a tiring traffic on a going-sunny-rainy-day, I finally arrived at school which is the 1st of the 3 photos above. Can u see my shadow? That's me with my shoulder bag and a bag of brownies. Class was boring, as usual. I was at my very last subject of the day in the 2nd photo. We had our final examination which asked just one question and its about Sustainable Development! AH HA! It was boggling, so many words but too tired to write. I got over it though and so I went to our MALAX tambayan to have our general meeting yet I got stood up. Glad that I had friends with me who were willing to waste 2 hours with me. That's the 3rd photo. I was sitting and talking to my friends. You see, my red shoe was a witness to all that. Although I had pretty down moments, I was still happy I put on this red number. I forgot how tiring it must be for the shoe too. But heck, these shoes are made for walking so they'll be okay as long as I will be as well.
I went home. I was rested and so is my shoe. I realized a lot of things today, things i cannot fully recount. The world may desert me but my shoe won't. That's for sure. It brought me to different places and it brought me back home. Oh, how i love shoes.
P.S. Funny how i can write a lot of random things about a shoe but i can't even start the very first paragraph of my term paper. Shoot me please haha
xoxo
