my glasses | life♥

bonjourno! how ya'll doing? this here is a little chat about glasses...

 i have needed glasses for quite a while now and i got my first pair about 8months ago. at the time i just wanted the ground to swallow me up and i couldn't believe i was actually choosing myself REAL glasses! i mean sure as a kid i used to love going into the opticians to try on all the glasses to make my mum laugh, but it just didn't seem real.

anyhow, once i got my glasses it was just amazing. it was like having HD vision or looking through a really fancy camera lense! i used to wear them around the house all the time and i didn't think they looked too bad on me, but i never really wanted to wear them to school. i told myself i didn't really need them and i had been seeing the way i had for years, why did it matter if i didn't wear them now... but really i did need them and deep down i knew it was because i didn't know what people would say. see, i have always liked clothes and fashion, but i don't really like getting things that are exactly bang on trend at the moment. i prefer to get things that are a little quirky or fun but still not too out there, so when i found that the only glasses that really suited me where the "nerd chic" kinda black square frames, i thought people would just thing i was desperately trying to fit in, and that i didn't really need glasses, so i hardly wore them. now this was fine for a while because i would normally sit next to friends and they would happily tell me what was on the board, and if i really couldn't see i would just discretely put them and take them off before the end of the lesson, but this wasn't ideal.

about 2 weeks ago i had to go back to the opticians because i had been straining my eyes a lot trying to see, and i needed a stronger prescription. again came the time where i had to pick my new frames, but this time i kind of embraced it. i tried on lots of glasses but still the only ones that really suited me were the big square frames, but instead of really dreading having new glasses, i just said to myself that it didn't really matter what other people thought, and if i needed glasses and it wasn't just me trying to fit in with the "cool crowd" then i should where them with pride!

and that's what i did....
