Wow, this was so insightful and profound. I'm saving this under my favorites list. This is everything I love in writing - personal story mixed with learning and growth with a dash of vulnerability and openness.

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. As someone who has worn glasses or contacts for as long as I can remember, this piece has made me appreciate my current state more and has encouraged me to see with my other senses. Beautifully written, Elizabeth!
