Can’t Pretend

This is the first time I’ve ever worn my reading glasses on the blog.

Many of you may not know that I’m pretty blind. The most stubborn version of myself will not accept the defeat of wearing contacts and I have always felt pretty insecure about wearing my glasses in public. There’s a small part of me that believes it displays a sign of weakness and fragility. Another deep rooted piece of myself thinks it confirms the undeniable fact that I am aging. I know these are petty things, but in all honesty it’s the truth. There are some days I can painfully and actually feel my body aging, aching. There’s really nothing we can do about it, can we? Does it bother me? In the very valuable and wise words of my Meme: Age doesn’t mean anything. It’s what you feel on the inside. And after a long week in New York filled with endless laughs, incredible company and a non-stop schedule packed with inspiration and kindling moments, I feel like a kid again. I feel like I am 18.

So, glasses? Why the hell not?
