My Vans

My favourite colour is pink.
My favourite thing is shoes.
So it would make sense for me to love pink shoes. I do love pink shoes.

I have many pairs of pink shoes, but I do own a very special pair.

These are my pink vans. I found them behind the counter in a Melbourne skate shoe shop. They claimed they were the first to get them in stock in Melbourne and they weren't going to be put on the shelf till the following day - but the man liked me enough to let me be an exception.
My pink vans remind me of a time when I was able to spend an entire weekend with two of the greatest people God ever created. I hadn't seen my childhood best friends for six years, and seeing them was a very special time for me.
These two girls deserved to be remembered through an important pair of shoes as they are important to me.
These shoes don't juts capture a moment or a memory - they great an emotion. They make me happy because they make me think of a time where I stood alongside my two best friends.

Shoes have more power than what people give them credit for.
