I read a tongue in cheek article yesterday about the problems with being a person who wears glasses, I laughed and nodded along as I identified with every single one. I have been wearing glasses since I was 9 years old. I did wear contacts for several years until I had my first child and then I just couldn't be bothered with contacts anymore. I am one of those people who absolutely cannot see without my glasses. They can be a pain, to be sure. Laying down sideways while wearing glasses is always fun. As is walking in inclement weather while your lenses get covered in whatever precipitation is falling that day.
But I really don't mind wearing them. I like the way they look on my face. Because the prescription is so strong the lenses tend to make my hooded eyes look bigger, that's a bonus. Without my glasses I wouldn't be able to drive, use my camera, recognize my loved ones, watch a movie without sitting in the front row, you get it.
Today's self-portrait is dedicated to my beautiful glasses, thank you for giving me the gift of focus and clarity. I promise to never put you in a chair or any other dangerous location and to always use a soft cloth when wiping you clean.
