Sometimes, I feel like I came out of my mother's womb with a fresh pair of glasses. That's how long glasses have been a part of my life. Ever since I could remember, I've always worn glasses. At least, I can't seem to find any childhood pictures where I'm not wearing them. If you're a true glasses wearer, then I'm sure you'll able to relate to these 11 annoyances we all go through.

1. Being the one with a glare in every picture

I'm telling you. It's so frustrating when you're about to take a bomb ass selfie, and the sun wants make you look like you don't have a left eye.

2. The finger prints and scratches that only you can see

It makes me want to take them off and break them right then and there.

3. Everyone thinking you're blind when they try your glasses on

No, Barbara I'm not blind. They're just not your prescription.

4. Always having to push them back up on your nose

If I had a dollar for every time I had to push up my glasses in a day, I strongly believe I'd be able to pay off my student loans and buy me a nice car.

5. Having to constantly clean them

We all know the struggle of having to make sure our glasses our clean. One smudge and our vision is screwed.

6. The feeling when you lose them

I really feel like this feeling is similar to losing a child. RT if you agree.

7. All of the questions that never seem to fade

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Have you ever thought about contacts?"

"Are you near sided or far sided?"

"Can you see without them?"

And the list goes on, and on, and on...

8. The struggle of trying to find the perfect pair

You might think you want to try something different, but you don't. So you're more than likely to get the same pair that you got last time with a hint of difference.

9. Being too afraid to check and see if they're broken after dropping them

My heart starts racing and the praying begins. They're usually not broken, but watch me have some karma for saying that.

10. The label of "hipster"

Just because I wear "hipster" glasses doesn't mean I like La Croix.

11. Getting told, "You should try contacts! You'd look so much better."

Ah, this one just might be my personal favorite. I love me a good back handed complement.

Wearing glasses has never really been my choice, but it makes me who I am. Everyone knows me as "Jessica with the glasses." As much as these comments and questions can get annoying, it's actually pretty funny how interested people who don't wear glasses get.

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.
