Barefoot.

One of the reasons I love writing so much is going back years later and re-reading the things that I've written. Sometimes I find my past thoughts to be the perfect supplement to whatever I happen to be going through at the time I dust off and crack open an old journal. I did this not too long ago with a journal I wrote often in back in the summer of 2010, and found this poem that I just cannot get past my immense love for.

It's a great reminder to not overcomplicate things - life, at its core, is made up of quite simple emotions. Embrace those and take on the world with the reckless abandon in which true happiness lies. Hope you all enjoy.




The world's on your doorstep
And the front door's wide open
It's waiting for you to find the right shoes
To make your mark

But the thing you forget
Is that your fashion doesn't matter
Stop looking for the perfect fit

All you need is your spirit
And a smile on your face
And a light in your heart
To lift the world with your soul

So leave your heels behind
Throw your sandals under the bed
And run into the blustering winds of this world
And change them

Barefoot.
