Never Happy
There is a problem with society that I face on a day-to-day basis. I am pretty small. I choose to wear heels, not only cause I think they are h.o.t but because it helps me to look taller. Trust me if I had the choice between sneakers or 3-inch heels, I will most always pick sneakers. But I don't.
Pretty much everyday when I am at work, I am in heels. Some of my heels are 2 inches, some are 3. Yup you got it, the higher the inch, the harder it is to walk in. It's pretty easy math. But, my feet are almost trained in pain. Take for example last week. I was in NYC pretty much all day. I wore 2.5 inch heels from 6:30 am - 8:30 pm. I not only walked about 6 city blocks, but I also had to run to A) cross the street B) give a lady her ATM card that she forgot C) catch my train. Did that sound easy? Cause it's not.
The shoes however aren't really my problem. It's people. If I wear heels, I get these comments "Oh my how do you even walk in those?" "Isn't that painful?" "You're going to have problems when you get older" But HELLO if I don't wear heels I get "Man I didn't realize how small you are" "You're really short" "Hey there tiny". Granted the heels comments make me want to punch you less, but still. I only wear the heels so I don't get the short comments! Now you are going to give me grief about this?!
I can never win.
