I smiled as I tied the laces of my old, favorite green pair of converse shoes, with the grayed laces and worn out soles. I chuckled as I looked at all my doodles and writing that I added on. Some may say they look weird, but i prefer the term, unique.

These shoes kind of define me, and at school I’m known for my green Chucks. If you say “the girl with the green shoes that have writing all over them” at my school, everyone will know that you’re talking about me.

When I put them on, I feel more confident. Like I know I can do anything now, because i have on my lucky greens. They’ve been through so much with me, giving me comfort and support. Some people think I’m crazy and remind me that “they’re just shoes!” And maybe they are “just shoes,” but they’re shoes with a soul (or should I say sole) =D
