My mom carries strong genes. She’s a pretty awesome lady so it isn’t too bad to get her genes. I share in her olive skin, strength, facial features and I’ve tried my best to keep up with her easy intelligence and natural lightness. I also share her callouses. I’ve always had calloused feet. The kind of feet that make shoes optional because my heels are about as tough as a normal sole.The kind of heels that grow so thick they crack. So I grew up seeing my mom, “shave her feet”
