The Truth About Glasses

A short spooky story about the reason glasses were invented.

The Truth About Glasses

Originally everyone had perfect eyesight. Then he arrived. A being that would change the world and force humanity to adapt.

You see, we are taught that people need glasses because their eyes have changed. The truth is far scarier than that. The

glasses aren't there to help you see, they are there to prevent you from seeing. We need glasses to protect ourselves.

This is because he is deadly. If you see him with your own eyes once, then he hunts you, and the next time you see him; he

will kill you. This isn't exclusive to seeing his physical form, for, as it is known, a name contains the essence of powerful beings such as him. This means that reading his name is the same as seeing him.

Doing either of these things once is such a traumatic experience that our brain alters how we perceive reality. This alteration

that protects us is known today as having poor vision. Those who read his name lose the ability to see clearly things that are close and those that see his physical form lose the ability to see things in the distance clearly.

Glasses enable these people to see clearly once more, while also providing a buffer that the being cannot get through. Four-

eyes isn't an insult, no, it's what keeps us alive. If you already wear glasses and see something on the edge of your vision or you read a word wrong, then keep your glasses on because he is close. He's trying to trick you into removing the barrier so he can extinguish the flame of your life.

There's a reason more people need glasses in today's world. He is more active than ever. Once upon a time everyone knew

about him and that's when glasses were invented. However, as time passed the truth behind glasses faded away as a myth and fake stories came about. As more people become negligent, or get laser eye surgery, his power grows.

So be wary and remember, having four-eyes will save your life.

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.
