About five minutes ago I was sitting on my bed wrapping a band-aid around my big toe, I had a HUGE blister from these amazing peep toe heels I was wearing the other night. I went to the beach with a few friends and remembered when I put the shoes on knowing that I would be in pain the next morning but recall thinking it'd be worth it. As I got ready for work the next day I remembered putting a band-aid around the fresh blister on my big toe before putting a sock and my work sneakers on.
I was in slight discomfort Monday morning.. but these gorgeous heels were the cherry on the sundae that was a perfect outfit. Was it worth having a gross blister on my toe for a couple of days? Yes.
As I put my shoes on today (cute, but not nearly as torturous) I thought about things that are worth going through pain for. Hot shoes, waxing, pulling one of those annoying little skins that poke out from the side of your nail sometimes. All perfet examples of things that you do with the knowledge of the pain or discomfort that goes into doing them. But, also aware of the relief and/or enjoyment brought immediately thereafter.
Then I started thinking about things that you can't imagine being painful that inevitably are.. like, making your car payments, losing someone, or taking a shot or something allot stronger then you thought it was.
There are some things in life that you can't control, and they're going to hurt, but.. like my beautiful shoes.. the real thing I should focus on is the great night out I had while wearing them, not the tiny wound I had to mend for the next couple days. All wounds heal.. then it's time to slip on another pair or stilettos!!
