It’s
going
to be the change of a lifetime, cleaning, breaking, and replacing. I’m no
longer going to be one of the kids who doesn’t have glasses, one of the kids
who doesn’t need them. Here we are, parked onto the store’s parking lot. All I
can see is gray cement, with yellow and white lines. Excited and jittery is
what I’m was feeling. But know it’s dawned on me, it will be different hear
out.
Walking
into
the store, I notice the floors. Gleaming like sweat after a 5k run. I’m in awe.
I’m never going see anything like this again.
Lots. The one word I can think of at this
moment. Lots. The word I’m using to describe how many pairs of glasses that are
lined on the walls. Although there are more pairs of glasses on the walls than
teeth in a shark’s mouth, I settle on one pair. Dark purple. It’s as dark as
the midnight sky. The only things that are missing are the stars. They are my
dream glasses. They’re one of the things that I’ve always wanted most. I can’t
help but feel overly excited. My heart is full of joy. And you can see my smile
from a mile away.
Think,
my heart says. Think about what it will be like with glasses. Think about how
they will
change your
life forever. Think about the
flaws and the good things glasses fix
about
the world. They will change my
life forever.
