(My Friend (let's call her Jazz) recently broke her glasses and i wasnt as supportive as i should have been. i would constantly forget that she wasnt wearing glasses and therefore i wasnt considerate to her situation. i wasnt as understanding and empathic to what she was going through as a true friend should have been. i feel very sorry!! now having gone through the same situation, the difference being a shorter amount of time, i can relate to her suffering and distress.)
My Glasses...but no contacts... :(
Earlier that day, I was with my friends commenting on my glasses and we realized that they were kind of saggy. I didnt like it! It made me look all droopy and shizz. For 2 days i went by trying to ignore my "saggy glasses". On the third day around 7pm, i went to my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. i saw SAGGY GLASSES. I tried deluding my self, saying," No! they're not saggy!"
After a while of attempted persuasion, i sat down, gabbed my glasses and examined them. In doing this, i saw that they WERE saggy. i sighed and wondered how it could be fixed, how it could look less saggy..(looking at past-picture my glasses were always like that, i just never realized it) So i grabbed the 2 glass frames inbetween my index finger and my thumb. With my index finger i gently forced downward and with my thumb i pulled upward, so that the edges would go up a bit. The end result that i had planned was for my glasses to be in the shape of a smile (before, it was a frown that looked saggy and displeasing).
I was reluctantly doing this. It was nerve recking! Different thaughts soared through my mind, both negative and positive. I raced for the positive but the negative caught me! i shouted in mind," DON'T BREAK! DON'T BREAK! DON'T BREAK!" --but they broke.. :(
After the 1st week i couldnt take it any longer. i was so sad!! it was very depressing! i couldnt see the world clearly. i think its much easier for those people who have never seen the world than for those who see it but are forced to see it blurry! of course we have glasses but imagine if we didnt. its as if someone gives u JUST a bite of a delicious, mouth-watering *item (I'll leave it to your imagination)* your left craving for more but you dont want to settle for something half as good. i was in a mild state of depression! At school they commented on how pretty i looked without my glasses, of course i love the compliments but IT WASNT WORTH IT!! i cried and cried, mostly in the privacy of my bedroom, running through so many negative possibilities, stuff like: "What if i get blinder and blinder? wat if i cant see my brother's face anymore? what about my dad? i wont be able to see my dad's face?!?" *cry *cry *sob *sob " i cant take this!" "I want to see CLEARLY!!" "Its so hard to do my homework!" etc...etc...
The next day, as if my apology was destiny, my friend, Jazz came to visit me after school. She found me in my bedroom watching tv (my face 5inches from the TV) she told me in a very concered tone, "Gene dont do that, its bad for your eyes!" she was so considerate and sympathic to my situation that i couldnt stand it. i had to apologize! Even though i was the opposite to her needs she was still so caring! WHAT A GOOD FRIEND! i expressed through my words and actions that day!! i'm so blessed to have her! :)
After 2 weeks i finally got a new pair of glasses. I was soo happy! and appreciated the world even more than usual!
