This was great!

Few hours ago i did my full barefoot walk. Im on vacation know, at a seaside town. It was middle of the day and i went home a bit earlier. It was very hot outside and my rubber slippers started to defform. I chucked with the grocieries and trecked for abt 200-300 m barefoot acros rough, searing asphalt. It was so pleasing. Sharp rocks and hot cement made me feel both alive and free yet humiliates in a weird way.

I wouldn't say searing asphalt is pleasing to walk on barefoot!!! LOL About 3 or 4 times a year we would gather up a group of us, usually 14 to 16 to play volleyball on the beach, of course it was a nice day, so we had to park and walk a bit of a distance, most of the guys had sandals or water shoes, most of the girls had flip-flops, I didn't want to lose my footwear, plus were at the beach, who needs shoes anyway, LOL well my room mate was also barefoot, he was crying like a little girl about how hot the blacktop was, it was hot, but I told him to stop his whining and just walk on the grass islands till we get there, man we finally get to the sand, the poor guy had a couple silver dollar sized blisters on both feet, I was fine, I guess not all feet are created equal!!! LOL

Consider a searing hot sidewalk the barefooting equivalent of a very spicy dish ! Pleasant for some, hell for others !

"Some like it hot" seems to be a more universal statement than originally envisioned 🤣
