One day a Gucci shoe decided to go for a walk by following an unknown direction. The weather was not so favorable, but she decided to defy the rain.
She was going through a very difficult period in her life and was feeling the true necessity for one cup of conversation, the advice of a sincere friend, and the warmth of an embrace.
The Gucci shoe was thinking for hours whose number to call and whose name to choose in a crowded phone book of false names. Plenty of numbers and untruthful friends. She was aware of that but nonetheless continued with listing the phone book. After explaining her current situation, the seemingly interested interlocutors would respond quickly with an excuse. Suddenly, everyone was overwhelmed by numerous exigent obligations. No one had time for a Gucci shoe.
Walking for hours aimlessly, she was overwhelmed by a growing sense of helplessness.
At that moment, she came across the Peasant shoe. The Peasant shoe was standing in the rain, shivering from the cold. It was difficult to stop the flow of water through its tiny strap. As soon as it stepped forward, suddenly felt something pierce it. It came across a top lift that fell out of a Gucci's shoe.
You dropped something," a Gucci shoe replied, by looking down on Peasant shoe, because of the height and the ego which proudly ripped through the cloud. "You look depressed," the Peasant shoe noted. "Something terrible happened to me, something incomprehensible," a Gucci shoe continued. “What is so awful that could steal your smile? "You know that worries create wrinkles," the Peasant shoe added. "I know," the Gucci shoe replied even more sadly. "I lost my place at the windows of many shops, and they put me on the last shelf in the farthest room from the entrance. Soon after that, many customers left me and nobody really wants me, anymore. ” "Hmm, I totally understand you, but you know, I've always felt that way", the Peasant shoe replied.
" I don't even know what it feels like to be at the window shop. I have never felt desirable, nor I ever have had much attention from others. "
"That's because you're the Peasant shoe," it replied roughly. " Nobody wants to wear that today, " it continued."
I understand, but I'm part of the culture and tradition" the Peasant shoe replied uncertainly. "I can teach you a lot, and own real values. I could offer you a lo, if I meet the opportunity. May not look great, but when you try me, you get a sense of comfort and security. ”
"Nowadays, that's not too important," a Gucci shoe replied ironically. "Well, I wouldn't agree with you," the Peasant shoe said with a slightly raised tone with awe. "You're as easily replaceable as a Gucci shoe, you sell yourself to those, who can afford you, but you also promptly become very boring to them. Those people often buy love and embrace you until they fulfill their emptiness. Like a bat of hell, they rush to the next excitement, and soon they need a new emotion. To meet this need they search for the better and more modern shoe, which promptly appears and inadvertently replaces you. While on the other hand, I somehow stay where I'm, loyal to everyone who shares with me their life corner because I know that I represent something special for them. They keep with me their wonderful memories of priceless value. A Gucci shoe lowered its gaze to the ground and whimpered softly. At that moment Peasant shoe hugged it tightly and said, “It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, or where you are from. It is important that you have now found a true friend who will love you, no matter if you own a shop window or are just a tenant of the last shelf. The one who will appreciate you for your true personality and not for the mask which helps you to fit in, and cover up your flaws. ”At that moment, a Gucci shoe embraced him tightly and gripped his hand, where they continued their walk together.
The differences are beautiful, so do not try to be a person that you are not, but dare to invoke the magic of life experiences with your authenticity that will only be yours, sincere and unique. There will be no place for others then.
So, love yourself because you are special.
