The Shoes Of A Woman

I think I can count maybe 30 pairs of shoes that are in my sight, and probably another 20 more stored under my bed, in the garage, and laying around the house. The poor guys look at us like, "Why the heck do they need that many shoes?" I mean lets be real, when we say that we need that many because, "They all have their own specific occasion!" We totally mean it. But if we were to have an occasion, for even 10 pairs of shoes, what would those occasions be? Black heels. Funerals? Concerts? Or what about white heels? Weddings? Girls night? What is the point to this? The point, is that women plan for things. Not that men don't, but we are massive planners. We plan out our own weddings, we plan out birthday parties, baby names, and probably every minute of our day. But above all else, there are some things we can not plan for: heartbreak. This happens in so many ways and this is not exclusive to women, but there is a different feel when men are "heartbroken" compared to women. Depending on the type on a woman, we ache for others. Sympathy and Empathy. We cry watching others hurt, we understand how they feel because we have gone through it, or we just know how to comfort others because our hearts are sensitive. We ache differently during a break-up (even if we did the dumping). We put on our heels and we go out, but we can not get it off our minds. Woman go through raising other humans! We plan for our children's names, food, activiti

es, and future. We learn to carry children to bed while still in our wedges or flats. Some women lose their children at too young of an age to get to enjoy being a parent. Women lose their self-esteem when they look at pictures of people in our world who are considered "models" or "perfect people" (when there is not such thing). But to some people, we "planned" for this. We are told not to let the world get to us, we are told not to have feelings for bad people, we are told his wasn't good for you and move on, and we are told just be yourself and love yourself for who you are. But these heartaches that women go through, can not be fixed by having someone else tell us what to do. We can't help that we want to have 30 pairs of shoes for many different occasions because we are just natural planners. We plan to feel in control, we plan to feel successful, and we plan to feel uplifted. This world doesn't understand sometimes that women hold such a big title on their shoulders, and when unexpected things happen, we just can not function. So world, give us a break. Quite judging us on our shoe intake. Just give us a great occasion to where them to :)
