cpshoes:cpshoes:I’m starting Valentine’s Day by expressing fierce love.To quote disabled, genderqueer writer and activist, Eli Clare by fierce love…I don’t mean the kind of love you’re likely to find in Hallmark cards, full of platitudes and clichés. I don’t mean easy, simple, or romantic love, but rather a fierce and determined love that won’t back down, demands justice, and lives in community, a love often expressed in mundane, everyday acts.I express fierce love when I extend a smile of solidarity to others wobbly walking with their feet turned inward, wearing out their shoes in an intimately familiar pattern. If it were not for the fierce, justice demanding, community thriving love I have received within everyday actions, I don’t know if I would have ever realized the connection between those mundane actions and mundane stuff, like a pair of shoes. The more we express fierce love towards others in our actions and create opportunities for fierce self-love within the in everyday stuff around us, the more we can fully embody fierce love that does not succumb to sometimes overwhelming desire to become numb to the all too frequent happenings of discrimination, violence, hate, and destruction. The more opportunity we have to be our fiercest selves, whether in the way we present ourselves or the spaces we place ourselves, the more we can express fierce love towards others and receive such love in return.Sending determined fierce love on this Valentine’s Day,CP Shoes———————————Shoe info:Brand - ConverseWears So Far - 6These shoes are long gone now, but this is still relevant. -- source link
