Monday, March 12, 2012Today's Writing Prompt: Normal If you were required to change one thing that would make you "more normal," what might that change be?)
First, I’m not actually sure being more normal is on the list of my immediate or long term goals. However, there is one thing that I would probably change about myself that would make me more like most women. It’s my feet. I have fallen arches. This is something I consider to be a severe disability, mostly because it makes standing for any length of time extremely painful. Then there’s the part that really bothers me. I can’t wear high heels. High heels do magical things for women. They make us taller. They make our legs prettier and our butts more pert. They add a polish to almost any outfit. A woman in a pencil skirt a jacket and a great pair of heels can rule the world. I on the other hand have to make due with supportive shoes and boots. My feet with their fallen arches roll right out of high heels and there’s nothing I can do about it. So if I could miraculously change one thing about myself to be “more normal” it would have to be my feet. Then again, maybe it’s a good thing. I really don’t have the budget for the shoe wardrobe that I imagine.
