I've often been made fun of for the way I walk, as I tend to walk on the balls of my feet.
My walking style, my morning routine, and pretty much everything I do, is done quietly. The irony, of course, is that I'm viewed as vocal, maybe even a loudmouth. I like to upset the apple cart, but I don't like to wake the neighbors. I find that in what some may view as laziness or a lack of patience, I have grown to be efficient. When it comes to day-to-day routines, I've adapted to shared surroundings by, not only, completing tasks quickly and efficiently, but also quietly. I find I am not only trying to leave less of a footprint for the futire, but a much more quiet one now. It is not even a thought when in the context of my own actions, but comes into my mind, and occasionally others, when the exact opposite traits are demonstrated within my proximity. In most cases, I shrug it off as simply others' habits, at times, nothing more than a heavier foot or different gait. In some cases, I marvel at their inefficiency, on rare occasions, despite the noise, I learn a more efficient way. In most cases, however, I find, the more people make their presence felt, the less efficient they are. In my experience, most people would rather be seen and heard working, than accomplishing anything at all. For them, the acknowledgment is everything. Why do so many ignore all that is around them, simply content to have all that is around them bear witness to the fact they exist?
