TOMS
okay so my very first pair of TOMS shoes came in yesterday, it sincerely felt like Christmas when I felt around the white package looking for an opening, then tore it open to find a white and blue bag with the word TOMS printed across. They felt light in my hands but i held them like they were gold and immediate slipped them on my feet. A little tight at first, but the more i walked around in them, they quickly became one of my most comfortable pair of shoes. Not only do my feet feel good but my soul does too because now that I'm rocking a pair a TOMS, some child out there in a 3rd world country is rocking some shoes too because of me. Interesting enough the next day after my TOMS arrived, they were a small topic of discussion in my advertising class. And after the class discussion had finished TOMS shoes became a side topic of some students across the room. Now I'm not into labeling people, but sometimes I feel a need too, and I feel a need to label these people complainers. And they complained about TOMS shoes. About how they were over priced, they could ware our easily, you couldn't get them wet, blah blah. As i was listening to these annoying complaints the thoughts in my head were..." Bitch, do you own a pair of TOMS, because you talking a lot about a product you never claimed to actually own, and if you don't own them you shouldn't be making comments and there manufacturing. Also they are like any other shoes, you have to take care of them like you would anything else. and if Nordstorms and MAcey's can charge over $100 dollars for simple ass, plain and simple, clearly not worth your money, i can get better shoes at target heels, then why is it wrong for TOMS to charge between $50-80 for shoes that are helping a child in a third world country who is walking are barefoot."
but of course i'm civil and all those rash thoughts stayed in my head. But it really got me to thinking that people can never be satisfied. That people will find flaws in the most beautiful pieces of art. With that said you gotta keep doing what you do,spread the good where you can and let unhappy people sit in the bitter pile of shit.
excuse my french.
