Enchanted

Life as a blind person can be challenging but not impossible.

There can be thousands of problems while constantly trying to survive everyday as a blind person.

It's really difficult to live normally as a visually impaired person when people are continuously rushing to help without asking for permission.

It just makes me feel really helpless instead of independant.

I have always felt like I am a burden and liability.

I might perform some tasks slower than others because of not having one of the most vital sense organ but that doesn't mean I can't do it.

The other things that irritates me a lot is stumbling accidently like upon a chair or knocking a glass off the table because it was close to the edge.

Or people leaving me alone in the middle of a conversation and it's just me talking to myself stupidly.

It just breaks my heart each time.

Sometimes, they stay silent or pretend that they are not present just to avoid interacting.

They think that I can't sense someone's presence standing close to me.

I hear people whispering or gossiping stuff about me all the time which is very annoying.

Like I am only blind, I am not deaf or brain dead in the sense.

Some people also grab my arm to push or pull me to prevent accidents which I am grateful for.

While some people bump into me while walking which results in me falling down.

They also never apologize and leave without helping.

They think that he is blind. How is he gonna know?

I used to play cricket, wanted to become a big cricketer and play for India but dreams are meant to be shattered.

My cornea got damaged when I was 17 and I have been blind eversince.

The doctor said that only treatment is cornea transplant which is too expensive.

And I also need a matching donor who could donate his cornea.

My parents well......I don't know where they are now.

They just left me alone in our house one day and never came back.

I think they left me because of financial issues as my medical expenses were a lot to bear.

Or died in an accident or something.

That's why I have been living alone for the past 8 years in this house.

Yes, it was hard and it is still difficult but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Music became my therapist for me after l lost my vision.

Now I teach people how to play musical instruments.

Yeah I mean I don't make a lot of money but it's enough for my expenses and keeps me going.

I still remember falling from the stairs and crying silently while holding my bleeding knee waiting for my parents to come back but they didn't.

Life has taught me many big lessons since I became blind.

That's why I am also scared of a lot of things like getting mugged, being taken advantage of, someone breaking into my house and the list goes on.

My only wish to God is that I want someone who could truly love me as who I am.

I don't know if that kind of love is reserved for me though.

Will I ever find someone who would love me unconditionally?

That's it for today guys.

I actually had this idea in mind since last month but could not write it because of personal problems.

I will start updating this when Mafia's karma is halfway done. Until then have a nice day.
