The Shoe Theory

Shoes are something that the average person owns, and if you're like me, you're slightly obsessed with footwear. Your own shoes are not only important, but noticing other people's shoes are also important. It sounds silly, but shoes really tell you a lot about the type of person someone is. This may sound even more silly, but the type of shoes that men wear are more important than you know. They say that shoes are subconsciously the first thing you notice about a person, and I couldn't agree more. I have a theory based off of this factor.

The theory (I consider it somewhat of an equation) is this, if an attractive guy is wearing attractive looking shoes then he is an overall good looking guy. If an attractive guy is wearing shoes that are slightly less attractive, then it brings his overall attractiveness down. If a slightly less attractive person is wearing attractive shoes though, it can really help with their overall appearance. This is not to say that the type of person a guy is, is solely based on his shoes and appearance alone, but let's be honest, it is something that most of us look for, even just a little bit.

If a person was looking for guidelines as to what shoes win in this theory, I would say the shoes are as follows; Nikes, Sperries, Vans, Timberlands, Oxford or Chelsea style shoes, and other shoes similar to these styles. Some people would argue that the shoes they wear are more for the support than the style, which is fine, but sometimes beauty is pain. These are just a few of the guidelines to help people out with what to look for, and below are some examples of what work and what doesn't work. I hope this helps anyone who is interested in the theory of how shoes can tell you about a person!

A BIG N.O.



Yes, love it.

These are only a few examples, but hopefully this gives you, the male shoe wearer, more insight on what makes you look good and what makes you look like, well, homeless.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
