On new glasses

[sincere]

When you are blind like me and first get a new pair of glasses -- or lenses in your glasses -- there is a brief, twenty-minute period of utmost clarity and wonder at how sharp and refined the world can be. You can see every individual petal on every flower in a bush. You can see with such distinction that you forget how fuzzy around the edges everything is the rest of the time.

It's a kind of dorky rush.

My new glasses are the most librarianly things I own, but they look awesome.

Oh man, I know, I LOVE that feeling. I still remember looking out the window of the eye doctor's office after I got glasses for the first time in years in seventh grade and being amazed that I could distinguish that there were multiple leaves on a tree in the parking lot.

It's kind of amazing. I spent the whole ride home going, "So this is how normal people see! Or maybe it's better than how normal people see."
