Feet and what they wear

I was thinking today that the post I made yesterday was  and I was not up to par writing wise. So, today I thought I'd write about how much I communicate with my feet. My feet are average size and clean, but have thick callouses, are bruised, scarred, my toes are short and definatly resemble those "little piggies" mom told us about and my toenails are not painted. They are nothing special to look at and I'm never complimented on their appearance (big surprise). I have never been one of those people who are grossed out by feet. I appreciate my feet for everything they do for me: They take me places, they put up with getting stubbed constantly and with being in shoved into 4 inch high heels, they let me dance, they let me stomp my feet to communicate my anger (in a two year old fashion), they help me swim faster and travel over rough and rugged terrain. So, I really don't mind if my feet look a little worse for wear. Too many people have feet that show no signs of actually using them. Maybe it's just my nature to walk around barefoot, so that's why my feet are all banged up. Ever since I was a little girl I've always perferred bare feet. Even when I was in the house of a total stranger I would strip of my shoes and socks and tear across the carpet. Nowadays, I'm more wary of when I take off my shoes. For me, barefeet is my inner signal of letting my guard down and feeling comfortable. There is never a time when I am more on edge when I have to take off my shoes in a place that is unfamiliar. They only thing I can do to "protect" my feet it to leave my socks on. I leave my shoes on when I am not ready to open up. When I am having a deep conversation with someone I tuck my feet under and lean towards the person to hear them better. Make note of even the gestures I make with my feet. If they are tucked away and out of sight I am being more reserved about things I am reveling. If they are out in the open I am ready to talk openly. Just make a note next time you see me.
