Barefoot - 19twentythree - Part 2
Despite my obsession with shoes, I am as equally obsessed with the complete lack of them.
Being barefoot makes me feel grounded, rooted to earth, free of restrictions. It means I get to feel the grass tickle my feet, to flirt with the sand between my toes, and feel the waves brushing off the shore. It means I get to feel the real essence of the place my feet are touching.
In a bigger sense, it’s a deeper exhilaration of unchained thoughts; it’s synonymous with throwing off the handcuffs of being what I “should” be. It’s all about stripping my mind from what the society expects me to think, believe, and act upon.
My blog here is as barefoot as I feel when I put the crazy pace behind me, take a breather, try to put my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies to rest, and bring my sanity back in check. I hope you enjoy getting your thoughts tickled as you get into my barefoot world.
Why am I expected to be a mechanic too?

Today I decided to finally take a break from politics and all the hatred that’s been spreading around like a plague during the past few weeks. Granted, we’re all going through a very messy phase in Egypt with too much … Read More

I am not a fan of our president or his regime, nor do I think the situation in the country is enviable or sustainable in any way, shape or form. But forgive me if I do not feel that June 30th may actually be the solution to our problems, even if it ends up toppling the regime.

Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist or atheists; none of that should matter to me, except the set of beliefs and values you choose to live by, be it dictated by your religion or simply your own.
