the end of an era
Once upon a time, a few weeks ago, a friend’s mother asked me this: “Madeline, how cold does it have to get before you wear socks?” Well Jesse’s mom…today, today I have an answer.
the answer is it has to be 3 degrees but fee like -13 degrees. Because today, for the first time since social norms in korea forced me to, i am wearing socks. It was really a walk of shame, all 4 feet of it, from my desk to my underwear drawer–which houses my 2 pairs of socks. I almost didnt know how to put them on. my shoes felt tight and uncomfortable. But i’m wearing them. But when this weather subsides i will go back to my glorious ways of foot freedom.
