I Need Glasses

No offense to all my wonderful beautiful friends who wear glasses, but I've always enjoyed perfect vision. A few months ago I began using my eyes more to focus on closeup things. I got back into drawing, blogging, and one of my favorite things, reading news articles. Apparently I'm farsighted. Normally this isn't a issue because my eyes are able to focus on everything they need to. The only issue I have now is I can see everything, it just hurts my eyes to see it. My eyes are straining so hard they are in pain, which sucks. I know the difference between a migraine and eye pain. Yesterday I went to the doctor about it and described what I was feeling. He said I'm probably far sighted, and when we began testing I'm sure he was thinking to himself "I am soo smart".

Which is better, one or two, two or three, three or four, five or six? I felt like I was going to go crazy if that lasted any longer. Getting lenses is no fun. On the bright side my eye pains are going to go away. The doctor said my prescription is so mild that it won't seem like a big deal, but it'll make "your quality of life better". Buwahahaha. I laughed out loud when he said that, and I told him that sounded like an infomercial. Luckily he was very nice about the fact that I almost started crying while informing him I misread a road sign.

I don't know I guess I always associated glasses with...negative feelings? And once again an unexpected blessing. I once had prescription reading glasses, what a coincidence headaches from reading, and I loved the frames. So now I don't have to shop around or worry about paying for cool looking frames. They only charge you ten bucks to use frames you bring in yourself. I'll post pictures when I get them, but for now I'm gonna post pictures of frames that make fashion statements. Mine are thick black rimmed, and totally scene. Love this haircut below too. 

This is Michelle Phan, and I love her makeup tutorials. This is one of her makeup looks specifically for girls who wear glasses. Don't be surprised if you see me sporting this look with purple instead of blue and with slightly smaller frames. I recommend her if you want a new look to dress up for a date.

I am making a promise to myself that I will appreciate my eyes even if they are slightly hidden by glasses. It's all for the better anyways. I would love to not have my eyes hurt anymore. AND if all else fails, at least Travis and most of my wonderful friends will think I'm cute. Which is a comfort on my "I got a hit by a truck" days.

Thanks for the love
