glasses

Yes, it's true. Because I can no longer read street signs while driving, I am now wearing glasses.

It feels strange, as though I am a different person, myself and yet not myself. This is akin to those first few days after a radically different haircut, when you feel that some part of yourself has been accentuated by that cut, and makes you feel as though that quality is the main facet of your personality.

Right now, as stereotypical as it may be, I have to say that while I'm still a tad self-conscious while wearing these, overall the specs make me feel smarter. So while I don't need them for reading or close work, if I do wear them, I feel brilliant. So until the feeling wears off, here's to brilliance.

Pictures of me actually wearing my glasses are forthcoming.
