There are some people I know who wear glasses all the time, but when they wear contacts or take off their glasses, they look completely different. Some even look like…a bully.

It\’s interesting how glasses define someone\’s personality. I see glasses like a \”glass wall\”. That was the reason that I wore glasses until I was 16 before I got contacts. I felt that my glasses gave me a wall between the world and me. That I was looking through a glass and that everyone looking in…would not see the real vulnerable me. It was been more than 7 years since I got my first pair of contacts. Yet, I wouldn\’t go back. My reasons are always that my glasses are bulky (I have a very high prescription) and are too thick…that I don\’t want people to think that I am blind. At the same time though, I like having this vulnerability out there, where people can really see my eyes and see what I am thinking.

My new rule of the house: don\’t wear sunglasses indoors! How do I know if I can trust you?
