Breaking up is hard to do

Dear High Heels,

I can’t believe I’ve even writing this. It has to be one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make.

But this can’t go on. The pain I feel when I’m with you is all too apparent now, and I fear that us staying together will only hurt me more.

So I have to walk away for now.

We’ve been together for so long I don’t quite know what I’ll do with myself. You lifted me up, gave me confidence, made me feel like a better version of myself.

Oh, what memories we have made. They could fill shoebox after shoebox.

I love you and all of your incarnations. We fit together so well when it worked, didn’t we?

Sure, there were times you let me down. You weren’t the most dependable, to be sure.

But I loved the element of danger you presented.

Now though, the reward isn’t worth the risk.

We’ve had a good run. And a few good walks, too.

But this is farewell.

Maybe one day we’ll meet again, when I’m ready.

Yours always,

Jenn
