The fact that nobody even acknowledged this before now genuinely surprised me, but right now it’s story time with Sturky.
So I’ve actually been blind twice before, and for two weeks of my life total, both were one week intervals.
The first time it happened was from me accidentally jamming my finger into my eye one day in fourth grade, ( don’t ask, even I don’t know how I managed that one. ) and I ended up getting the whole next week off because my eye had to heal, and it hurt too much to even think of trying to open it.
The second time was a bit rougher and makes more sense, my brother threw a broken pencil at me and it hit me right in the eye, kinda the same story from there.
Both times my left eye was the one that was injured, and even though I’m fine now, there’s still remnants of the injuries, as my left eye sees colors notably brighter than my right now, it’s a bit of a lazy eye, and it tends to burn and water like crazy sometimes without warning, so because of that I avoid light more than a vampire now.
Being blind was without a doubt the worst experience of my life though, and the excruciating pain did not help with that at all. Because of those experiences I genuinely feel bad for anyone with any sort of issue with their eyesight, even if they just wear glasses, just cause I’ve been to the extreme, and I never want to go back.
