toms retired.

i must admit i have an unhealthy obsession with toms, which is evident by my distinct tan line on my feet.  however, due to wearing toms everyday in the humid, sweaty weather of Greece, i am afraid to report, they stink.  they are also wearing down to the inside lining. what am i going to do? well, i have come up with the solution to not wear toms for an entire week, today is the first day.  i have been wearing my vans. my feet feel tight, & restricted, & i want to take them off.  the only plus, is that i wear socks, i love wearing socks, always unmatching of course.  i have the highest hopes that retiring the toms, & maybe letting them reside in the freezer for a bit will solve the stench problem.  on a slightly similar note, something must be said about going out of your comfort zones, & doing things that you aren't used to.  i know wearing other shoes is not that big of a deal, but over the past week, i have talked to many strangers.  which is a big deal for me, because i am the most shy person on this planet.  i like it. i like meeting people.  this week i challenge everyone to do something out of the ordinary, you may come to find something you've been missing out on.

P.S. i would like to shout out to sweet boys.  boys that open your doors.  boys that are gentlemen.  boys that sit next to you in class, & tell you you're beautiful.  thank you boys, you make us girls feel loved.
