[Tall One In Black]

GeishaGirl, I can sympathize with your eye issues.

After 18 years of contact lenses, my eyes have said, "No more!" They itch and hurt constantly. And they are filled with creepy red blood vessels so I look like a total drug addict. Worst of all, those blood vessels will never go away. They'll eventually "ghost" out - I hope! - but they'll always be there.

I look at others' snowy white sclera and I'm jealous. What a silly thing to be jealous of.

I got new glasses today and will be retiring my contacts indefinitely. I'll lose all my peripheral vision, get a neckache from bobbing my head up and down constantly, have sore spots on my nose and ears, fight with them while I'm working out... fan-fucking-tastic. I loathe wearing glasses.

It's time to sell off everything I own so I can afford vision correction surgery. I can't even imagine the joy of being able to see properly without the pain and frustration of contacts or glasses.
