I Have Bare Feet

People ask why I don't often wear shoes 🐻

Well, I am a gymnast. We do gymnastics without shoes so we can grip with our feet and move around the floor and apparatus more easily and safely. I am also a gymnastics coach, so I know it is less painful to be hit in the face with a bare foot than it is with a shoe 😟

I also dance. Not everyone likes to dance in bare feet, but I do. I can feel the rhythm through the floor and I can navigate my space better with nothing on my feet. For me, to wear shoes or socks while dancing would be like wearing gloves to paint a picture 😔

I am often barefoot at home as well, so no one can blame me for walking mud into the house 🙄
