There’s always hope.

Hey Sam, and all, well, what a funny thing to have happened back on this thread. That all went down a year ago, I can't believe it's been a year.

That said, lots has changed.

I moved to a different city, and in the process, gave it another shot. And I'm going on four months of wearing. Lots of figuring out solutions to various problems left to do - but *no one* that I already knew has noticed. I moved here with several people that have known me for ages. None of them noticed.

More than that, I feel great. I know there are issues (poly edge lifting, etc) that I have to deal with. No problem. I'll move to all-lace.

The point is, Sam, you were very right - just because one experience was a total downer, doesn't mean I couldn't take some time, reflect, and give it another go. And I think now, I'm really in the game for real.

So, all of you cats feeling discouraged... don't worry. Even if your first attempt is a massive failure, keep trying. Wearing is definitely a lifestyle change and takes massive adjustment - i haven't adjusted yet, that's for sure. But over time, you'll realise you can do it.

Many thanks to all who posted here on this subject, it surprises me that it went on as long as it did!
