Originally, I was going to start our relationship off with a rant. But they say first impressions are crucial so I decided to go via the route of positivity.
I am currently at my niece’s seventh birthday party and I am bored out of my mind. The people I haven’t seen in awhile but who were there as I grew up are firing questions at me about my nonexistent love life and who I am texting currently. I am sitting in a corner (literally) and waiting for food.
But what did add a highlight or two to the night was this three-year-old girl telling me that my eyes were beautiful. She kept coming back to me to say it. The second to last time she told me that I was beautiful just the way I was. And the final time was to invite me to her Frozen party…awwwIn case your wondering, both of my eyes are blue with what looks like a white film on or around them. The filmy stuff is from corneal scarring as a baby. They, my eyes, move (I have nystagmus).
Ps. Now that I’ve finally written something, posts should come regularly. Expect anything from one-liners to novellas.
