i self-love you...

i always seem to write when it rains. again i'm trying to be careful of disclosing too much too soon. i write that stuff in my journal. yes, i have a journal and have since i was 12. anyway, i'm finding it hard to grasp the art of self-love. it's not really something that comes in steps and it's different for everyone. i'm really good at nuturing and boosting the confidence of others but with myself i seem to have no clue where to begin...

i hate to admit it but i finally got around to getting some new booties and i actually felt better because of it. not that rush when you buy something you don't need but a feeling of finally doing something you've been putting off. my feet were cold, soaked - i wore my summer sneakers down in a month and today i was walking around the upper east side and they were there - in my size, in the color i wanted. i got these and didn't feel a hint of buyers remorse:

hopefully i won't wear these down for at least a year. they go with almost everything i wear and i'll try to at least wear them with something totally unmatched just to make myself feel less in control.
