The Struggles that People Who Wear Glasses Go Through

"If the whole world was blind, who would you impress."- Boonaa Mohammed

Unfortunately, though it's not the whole world, there's quite a bunch of us who actually are. For some of us, they're trendy and for others they're just life changers.

But if you're like me, who refuses to get a laser eye surgery after watching Olivia die in that doctor's office in "Final Destination 5" then you know the struggle...


Here is a list of things people who wear glasses deal with on a daily basis


1. People take you for a completely different person when you take them off

2. Or assume you're blinder than you actually are

3. The transition from cold to warm

Basically.....

4. Face it. Makeup, summer and glasses is not a good combination

5. Not being able to lie down for a nap like a normal person

Seriously though. like why?

6. Cooking and having splashed oil all over them

7. The stereotypes....

Librarian... or nerd... or both.

8. Having people ask you if they can try them on

9. Having to walk around with a soft cloth to clean them at least 20 times a day

10. Rain is your biggest enemy

11. Having to readjust them over a hundred times a day

12. LOSING THEM


... and yet again, regardless as to how much you hate them sometimes, or whether people called you "four eyed" while growing up, you know that you are nothing without them and so you've learn to be cool in them.

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.
