People with perfect vision just don't get it.

People who wear glasses are the only ones who really understand the struggles that come with having four eyes. Now, my glasses are my most important possession, and I am incredibly grateful for the blessing they are. They allow me to see the world clearly. That's something I wouldn't trade for anything, but to be honest, glasses complicate everything. Sometimes people with 20/20 vision (and I am incredibly envious of you all) just don't realize what we glasses-wearers deal with.

1. Sports

Whether we're a spectator or playing in the game, volleyballs, basketballs, etc. are like magnets to our faces.

2. Weather

Seriously, windshield wiper glasses are a thing - and for good reason. Anytime we're in the rain or the snow, the droplets stick to our glasses and obstruct our vision. And anyone with glasses knows the struggle of going swimming. Do you take them off so they stay dry? Or do you leave them on so you can actually see what's going on around you?

3. When your glasses slip off your nose.

Whenever we get sweaty.

4. When you can't find your glasses

Because we literally can't see without them.

5. There will always be a glare in pictures.

Especially on school picture day. So many retakes to try to avoid it.

6. Sunglasses. We can't wear them.

Need I say more?

7. Contacts are not always the answer

Because sticking a piece of plastic in your eye is not as simple as everyone says.

8. When you want to lay down but still see.

9. Everyone assumes you're smart

10. Everyone wants to try them on.

Always.

11. And then when they do, they say, "Wow! You really can't see!"

Did you think I wear these for fun?

12. Picking out new glasses.

Finding the right shape for your face is always a struggle.


13. Your face is unrecognizable without your glasses.

14. Your glasses are your most important possession.

Without them, your view of the world would be a lot less clear.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
