New Eyes

I have worn and needed glasses since I was in the 4th grade. At first I was nervous about it but I fell in love with they way they looked :)

In 9th grade, I got contacts because I was on Dance Company and it was just easier. I soon switched back to glasses when I saw a pair of real prescription NERD glasses :)

Glasses for me are a necessity. I am as blind as a bat (no exaggeration) When I'm not wearing glasses I squint and everything is blurry.

My point to all of this?

I have been hiding behind my glasses. When I danced with contacts, I could the faces of the audience and it made me nervous. Now, I am all about free expression and being open and honest with people. So the glasses are coming off.

I let a material object become a major part of me. Glasses were my safety barrier. Yes, I like the way they look, but I am different now. I'm no longer nervous of the faces in the audiences or crowds.

I do feel like I have been looking at the world through new eyes lately because of how different I am. Change is good :)
