Have you ever sworn that you would never do something... then a few years go by and you realize maybe you shouldn't have been so absolute in your declarations?
Growing up I never liked Converse Chuck Taylors. I never bought them. I never wore them. I didn't like it when my babysitter rocked them, and especially when my friends sported them. My little brother started wearing them to punk rawk shows and eventually I eased my anti-Chuck stance from a 'hatred' to a 'strong-yet-tolerable dislike'. Then over the years they began to grow on me. In the last few years I tracked down and purchased my own pair of all-black hi-top Chucks, and moved from a neutral/positive position... to a mostly positive position on the love/hate Chuck chart.
That being said, I may have slowly acquired a taste for Chucks over the years (decades), but there is one thing I promised myself I would never do: Wear shorts with hi-top Chucks.
....here I am in Kansas City Missouri wearing skinny shorts with hi-top Chucks....and loving it.
Go do something you hate....and love it too!
