Aight nothing but a crack

So I got to this idea whilst looking at the bottom of my shoes in the middle of class, obviously the best ideas come out of mind numbing excessive concentration at the task at hand..... So back to my shoe.
  • Imagine that the shoe is your life as an entirety.
  • The cracks, crevices, indentations, and patterns on the bottom of your shoe are the relationships and experiences you have in your life.
  • Now the rocks, stones, objects that have become stuck or embedded in the shoe cracks are people that have become part of your relationships and experiences.
Questions: How did they get there? Did you even know they were there? Did you care?

It's funny to see how people come and go through life and we don't even tend to notice or care how they got there. Just like those stones that got stuck in your shoe cracks as you were prancing along through your day. One moment they were there stuck in the bottom of your shoe, the next they could disappear to become part of another persons life or disappear in their entirety to never be seen again. At some points you might even take a look at the bottom of your shoe and decide that a certain rock is bothering you and you decided to pluck it out. You meant it no harm but instead thought it would be better for the rock to be free from your shoe and maybe as a result the comfort the shoes now give you is much better then when the rock was stuck in the crack.

The people that come and go through your life will always be circulating, some will stay, some will go, but you'll always have those cracks, those experiences and relationships that have molded your shoe to what it is today.

Don't fret that some rocks get lost and maybe won't turn up again, its really nothing that you can do, because as you walk there will be other rocks that are trying to get into those cracks and you won't even know that they pushed somebody out or someone new came in.

...Until of course you take a look at the bottom of your shoe. So take some time, appreciate what you got in those cracks, maybe even wonder what happened to some of those rocks you used to have, its really not so bad at the bottom of your shoe.

And I think this is just awesome
