Glasses

So. Last week I broke my glasses. Super annoying. I was holding them in my hand and ran straight into a glass door. No joke. I don't wear my glasses that much because:

a. they are kind of nerdy
b. make my nose look big
c. I sat on them once and now they are kind of crooked
d. one time I went on a few dates with a guy and on our last date I wore my glasses and then he never called me again. True story.

But still...It is impossible to see far distances without them and I am a fan of vision in general. I probably would not have made a huge deal about it - except I knew that soon I would be driving to LA and would need them to drive. So, with my impending road trip, I quickly made an eye appointment.

Now - the eye doctor said that I should get contacts. (she probably suspected my bone structure did not benefit from glasses...).

I was skeptical - but did throw caution to the wind. Turns out - with the contacts I saw waaay better than with my nerdy little, crooked glasses. Everything is so much clearer, trees have leaves, I can read street signs - and I may have been wearing too much eyeshadow for who knows how long - which I didn't notice before.

And then of course, I had to draw a spiritual parallel to it. Like, sometimes we are so used to our lame glases that don't even look that good on us - and then God takes them by making you run into a proverbial glass door and you think "what am I going to do?" But then...he provides something so much better - like contacts.

Anyways. Those are my thoughts.
