Loving My Toes
As I was sitting watching TV a few minutes ago, my eyes caught sight of my toes. Now, if I'm really honest, I gotta tell you that I have FUNKY toes. Not the toes that you see in magazines or that some dainty girl is supposed to have. No, my toes are crooked, big, all-around weird.
I've always had a hate/hate relationship with my toes: I hate them because they are so ugly and they hate me because I put them in too-tight shoes in an attempt to hide them from the world. So far, that's worked.
Tonight, something changed. As I looked down at my feet, a smile slowly crept on my face. For the first time in my life, I actually liked my toes. They have PERSONALITY. They are MY toes. Crooked, big, all-around weird. I suddenly realized they are just like the me that I have spent 43 years trying to accept. Crooked, big, all-around weird. That's me and I will not try to fit myself into any straight, small, "normal" box any more. I am finally home!
