from the top of your head to the bottom of my feet

I wanted to incorporate these quotes into this blog post somehow:

"Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes"

"You never really know a man until you understand things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it"  -Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird (1960)

because I think shoes and hats are similar, like how hearts and minds are similar:
similar in the way that they both start "working" when we are in love
and how they stop working when we are "in love".

how sleep and feeling tired are similar:
"I could get a hundred hours of sleep and still feel tired as hell".
maybe you're not tired for sleep
maybe you're simply tired of people judging you before walking in your shoes or wearing your hat
maybe we need to learn how to tie our own laces and find hats that fit us again.


steve jobs wore a size 14 shoe
michael jordan wears a size 13
babe ruth wore a size 11
michael jackson wore a size 9.5

do great things come with great shoe sizes?
apparently so; but will someone please tell my size 9 that he didn't make the list.
please let him know it's not his fault that he won't make a difference
let him know he's still loved
and that one day maybe he will achieve greatness like those before him, no matter the size.
