I got a pair of new sneakers…okay I was shopping for dress shoes and my wife saw these sneakers on sale and asked me to try them on. I liked them and so did she so I got them. 

I feel free when I wear them to work. It’s different than my normal Clarks leather shoes. I feel free in a way I don’t with my “nice” shoes. 

I feel as though there are less expectation on me. Expectation is good but when it is oppressive to the point of not feeling myself, it’s bad. In my sneakers I feel me. More free. Less obligated to be a specific way. 

When I act out of this freedom I will lead better, love better, be better.
