I remember a little bit about the appointment because I was hoping so badly that they would find something wrong with my eyes. But to my disappointment they kept saying words like good, great and perfect after all the tests. At the end the doctor told me I had perfect vision and they sent me out to the waiting room so the doctor could talk to my mom alone. After I left I knew that while I had passed the vision tests, I had failed in getting something I desperately wanted. I would never need glasses.
The doctor told my mom that it was normal for kids to make up vision problems because they have a friend or relative who wears glasses and they wanted to have them too. While in my case I didn't want to copy anyone, I just wanted to make my own fashion statement. I did eventually get over my 'glasses envy' and lived the rest of my childhood finding other ways to show off my individuality in ways I probably shouldn't have- like with puffy paint, big bangs, and big t-shirts with knots tied on the side. But I still love glasses! Even though I don't NEED them I still want them!
Fashion has always been my outlet, (as you can tell from my reminiscing, it started at an early age) and when I cleaned all the pics off my phone and I was surprised at all of pictures I took of myself! I guess that I use myself as my own fashion pallet and try new fun things and will take pictures of myself when I am wearing something that makes me feel really cute or just going somewhere really fun and I feel free and full of fun. Am I the only one who does this?? Someone please validate me!
Well, I thought it would be fun to embarrass myself and post them. These are all this pics of me over the past couple months and as you can tell I really love wearing glasses!
