The end is NEAR, the end is in SIGHT(ED)

In about two weeks, I will once again enjoy Perfect Vision Freedom. Right now I am suffering through the uncomfortable feeling of constantly being pinched on the nose and behind the ears, lovely. To cheer myself up, I have decided to make a list of things I am looking forward to when my potential is no longer hindered by the limitations rendered by glasses and contacts.

Top Ten +1 Things I am Looking Forward to with Perfect Vision Freedom

  1. If I am attacked on the street I won't have to worry about losing my glasses.*
  2. If I am attacked (or need to change a tampon) in the night I won't have to worry about finding my glasses.*
  3. I will be able to correctly read the clock at night without sliding as close to the nightstand as possible, yet staying on the bed, while closing my left eye (the worst one) and squinting with my right eye.
  4. I will be able to open my eyes underwater!
  5. I will be able to play video games that require intense concentration, and thus - less blinking, without my contacts drying out and mushing around, demanding bastards.
  6. I won't have to deal with the whole snowflakes-all-over-my-glasses-and-still-carrying-on-normally thing.
  7. I won't be robbed at the optometrist once a year for $300+ in contacts and glasses.
  8. I won't have to force my puffy eyes open every morning to pop in huge contact lenses.
  9. I won't have to put my face as close as possible to the mirror while applying make-up, see photo.
  10. My eyes will finally be their natural color: green.
  11. Lastly, If I want to spontaneously take a trip, stay over night somewhere, or have my flight canceled I won't have to worry about contact solution, a contact case, or glasses.

FREEDOM people. It's all about the FREEDOM.

*I am not in fear of being attacked, I just like to be prepared and it is difficult to be prepared when one has to find the thing that gives them sight (glasses) while sightless (seriously nearsighted).
