Glasses

I have recently learned that i will be needing glasses in the near future. I never thought it would happen to me. I truly believed i would go through all my life having the perfect vision i had as a child, but that dream was shattered when i realized the board at school was getting blurry and reading distant road signs while driving was no longer done with the ease it once was. Discovering that my vision was faltering was disapointing, to say the least. I ate my carrots as a child (which are supposed to help your vision) and even though i read a lot as a child, and still do today, i never read in less than suitable light. So why will i be burdened with the weight of glasses?

Glasses can look good on many people, and usually do, but i am worried that i wont be able to pull them off. Being new to glasses and all worries me because i have never been seen with anything but extremely chic sunglasses. What will my friends think? What will they say? If they dont like my glasses, will they tell me? These questions haunt me when i am idle and have time to think. Not knowing the true answer haunts me even more.

Glasses are not necessarily a bad thing. They are going to help me read things more clearly and get rid of some of my headaches. This is good because it will help me read and perform in school as well as make me more comfortable. Luckily, the negative stereotype with glasses has also gone. In elementary school, glasses are not cool. Thankfully as the years have progressed they can be fun, chic, and give me a smart look...i hope. Although it was sad to learn that my eyes were growing weak and i could no longer claim to have perfect vision, i am hoping that everything works out (and no one laughs at my glasses :))
