Last night on my way home from chapel i totally tripped and fell right on my face. Now let me tell you this is not a rare occurrence. I was happy last night that when i did fall i did not break skin and i had my wonderful friends there to help me get back up and keep going. My one friend and i have this joke that she will always catch me when i fall because the first night i met her was in Africa and i slipped down a hill in which she then caught me. and trust me i have tripped more times when i have been with her. story of my life.
the reason why i trip so much is because of the way i walk. majority of people walk heel to toe. i however, walk toe to heel. therefore it is much easier for me shoe to get caught on a crack and there i go! i used to trip A LOT more when i was younger which thankfully due to improvement of therapies and getting myself stronger i only trip on occasion. even though i still get embarrassed and mad at myself for tripping i just have to accept it and move on.
as i am talking about my walk i also want to say that i go through shoes really fast. in fact when i was home this last weekend i went to grab a pair of boots i got last year. i looked at the bottom of the shoe and what do i see. of course a hole in the shoe. that is why i need a lot of pairs of shoes. if i use just one pair for a while it will get wrecked in no time. there is positive and negative to this. positive i have a lot of shoes, negative my shoes cannot last for more than a year.
things like tripping and my walk are easily things that can knock me down and make me upset. but i have realized that as long as i am okay i just need to laugh at it and move on. that is why i labeled this "you trip, you fall, you get back up". it applies to all things. you may have times where you go through a rough patch but you always have to get back on your feet and move on. there are so many obstacles one has to deal with in life but through those you learn so much and you keep fighting and get back up. what is life if you cant laugh at things and move on :)
