“221st Story”
When Jasmin saw that stunning pair of black shoes in the store display, she couldn’t resist and walked into the shop.
“Can I have size 6 of this pair, please?” Jasmin asked the employee.
“Sorry, only sizes 5.5 and 9+ are left.” The employee replied.
Jasmin said: “Can I try the 5.5, please?”
Jasmin tried the shoes and it was pushing all around her feet.
The employee said: “Usually after a while shoes will loosen up and get a bit more comfortable.”
Jasmin asked the price.
“$365, and it’s on sale.” The employee replied.
The price was very high for Jasmin’s budget and the shoes were tight, but Jasmin loved them and had to have them. She bought the shoes and walked out of the store very happy.
Days and months passed and Jasmin’s shoes never loosen up and all around her feet were many scars and bandages.
After six months of suffering and torturing herself, Jasmin finally gave up the shoes and set herself free.
This is exactly the story of our lives. Some things don’t fit us or aren’t affordable, that could be marriages, friendships, and much more.
The only thing that stays for us are scars and pains. We must not have everything we desire, we should only have things that fit our life.
Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.
