Something by Susie

These are like my disguises, not so you can’t tell who I am, but to show the world a different me from the one I am feeling, or sometimes they’re just red boots and shades!

The red boots are ankle high sock boots with a kitten heel, easy to walk in and comfortable to wear! But, they create a more confident strut than a walk, people look down as I pass them and they smile, a few even say nice boots. I wear them to work with a black dress or a navy and white dress.  They say, check me out, I am one confident mutha fucker and I don’t care what you think! My day possibly didn’t  start out with me feeling that way, but  it certainly ended that way from the minute I put those red boots on. One compliment recently received was, “I love to watch you walk”.  It wasn’t meant in a creepy way so I didn’t take it that way…even so, I’m keeping my eye on that one.

Sunglasses let me see in the sun shine, but more importantly they let me people watch without appearing rude and staring. Omg who doesn’t love a good people watch. Sat at a cafe writing this now, shades on, I look like I’m on my phone, but I can secretly check out the hot guys, or watch the couple arguing and wonder why they do it if they love each other! Watching other people’s parenting skills and silently judging them, but also praying their day gets better. I know, I know, but we all do it, I’m just owning it. People watching is a way to get lost in thoughts, thoughts that are not about our normal stressors. They are like an escape, you can even make up fabulous alternate lives for these people.  It’s like a break from the day to day humdrum, to watch other people’s. You could call me nosey I guess….but then you’d never know, cos I got my shades on, having a coffee, tapping away on my phone ! 🕶️☕📱= 👀
