#nosocksday

drugi raz w życiu robię dzień bez skarpetek i chyba zaczyna mi się to podobać. rok temu wyszło przypadkiem, dziś już totalnie specjalnie. birkenstocki w październiku brzmią jak zły pomysł, ale jest w tym coś tak głupio‑fajnego, że aż mi poprawiło humor. czasem człowiek potrzebuje małego „mam to gdzieś”, żeby przetrwać jesień.

doing no‑socks day for the second time ever and i think i’m actually into it. last year it was an accident, today it’s fully on purpose. birkenstocks in october sound like a bad idea, but there’s something stupid‑fun about it that honestly made my day better. sometimes you just need a tiny “i don’t care” to survive autumn.

dzisiaj był dzień bez skarpetek (tak, to istnieje, serio). znalazłam to w internecie i pomyślałam, że czemu nie. założyłam crocsy bez skarpetek i poszłam do szkoły. na korytarzu było trochę zimno, ale uczucie wolności — bezcenne. koleżanki patrzyły jakbym zwariowała. jedna zapytała, czy to jakiś protest, druga powiedziała, że „to odważne”, a trzecia tylko zrobiła zdjęcie i napisała „liva znowu coś wymyśliła”. chyba właśnie o to chodziło.

today was no socks day (yes, it’s real, i checked). found it online and thought, why not. wore crocs without socks to school. the hallway was kinda cold but the freedom — priceless. girls looked at me like i lost it. one asked if it was a protest, another said “that’s brave,” and the third just took a pic and wrote “liva did it again.” guess that’s the point.

No Socks Day, celebrated every May 9th, is the perfect excuse to let your feet breathe and embrace the freedom of going sockless. But what about those socks you’ve just liberated from your feet?
