While in the middle of dealing with someone, have you ever wondered what it was like to slip into their shoes? To get inside their heads? Of course you have, who hasn't?
Although I'm guilty for being "curious" or "envious" of others in the past, I knew subconsciously that I was satisfied in my imaginary uncomfortable expensive pair of LouBoutins. Take note I said imaginery.
Unfortunately, even though you're comfortable in your own skin, doesn't mean everyone else is partial to you or your skin.
Why do we judge others? You see certain situations with your own eyes, but 9 times outta 10, you saw it in the dark because you still don't understand half of one's struggle. When judging someone based off of hearsay you should always take note that there are 3 sides to every story; side A, side B, and the truth. Knowingly the truth very rarely services. Due to the mega fabrication of one individuals life, eventually the truth gets lost somewhere.
It has taken me 28 years, a mended broken heart, and a 7lb 10oz blessing to discover the "I don't care" involving others opinions of me or my shoes. Those who judge are far from satisfied with the life they have chosen. Even though I do not owe anyone an explanation for ANY decisions I have made, I have to say this....I once was a young vibrant girl who made poor poor decisions that has blossomed into a strong independent woman with aspiring dreams of being the BEST MOTHER I can be. Please if you are to judge, you may judge me for my past, but hand over your gravel when it comes to my present or my future. I am unbreakable, untouchable, determined, and phenomenal. Due to my current situation that I have enabled, I will have to develop very thick skin for all the rocks that will be thrown at me. Use to, I felt sorry for me. Now, I am blessed.
So feel free to walk in my LouBoutins one good time, they may be uncomfortable ever now and then, but at the end of the day when you see the BIG picture, I bet you won't wanna take em off. :) :)
*Confidence is a stain that can't be washed off!! Let the opinion of NO-ONE make you feel less than what you are!!*
ahhhhhh.... i think this is on point. too often people are quick to judge and cast stones... when they have no idea how hard youve worked to become what you are today. Im glad we met when we did... bc the "new" you is someone i hold on a pedestal... you are an inspiration ... and the definition of strength and perseverance. Keep shining, love.. and life is most def like a pair of LouBoutins... or any other heel for that matter.... people don't get how damn tough it is to wear em.. but the gratification from the way you feel like you look ...aka... the way you live... is priceless.
