this is the walking stick i have ordered which should arrive on Saturday (fingers crossed). i am still not 100% comfortable with the idea of having to carry it around with me and using it in public it seems weird to me only being 19 that a walking stick is going to be necessary to just walk more than 15minutes.
i can’t come to terms with it, that i’ve brought a walking stick. The idea of using it still upsets me and makes me embarrassed .
I know exactly how you feel. I’m still not used to the questions. Before, people might have noticed I walk funny, or limp, or don’t look to well, but never minded asking. A walking stick seems like an invitation: “hey, what happend??” well, actually nothing happend, just me, being the same like pretty much always. I wish I didn’t have to explain it. I wish it was as easy as “I broke my leg”.
On the other side, walking with a stick wasn’t as bad as I imagined. I’m still not super comfortable with it, but I’m not as afraid as I was before. When I need it, I use it. Sometimes I still hide it (the stick) but it depends.
BTW, that’s such a nice stick you have! Mine is just plain black. Still want to decorate it though!
