glasses

I love to wear glasses. Before this year, where I was not experimenting with contact lenses, I always bought two pairs. One for everyday use, and another for special events like meetings or parties, etc.

I never really thought of this before until last night when I realized that I haven't used my contacts in a month. Partly because I was too lazy to buy new a solution --moisture lock was recalled, and freaked me out --and partly because I'm more comfortable with glasses.

Then it dawned on me that maybe the reason why I'm so comfortable with wearing spectacles is that it's like another mask. Similar to Clark Kent, he hides the fact that he's superman by wearing glasses. Yes, to all of use viewers, we all know that two are one and the same. But the idea of hiding behind something is not at all a foreign concept.

Glasses are just as much a mask as anything we put on. It's just more tangible. Same thing with make-up, right? How does that No Doubt song go --"Make-up's all gone. Who am I? The magic's in the make-up." I guess, as much as I've worked on taking off layers of masks, I've neglected to see my glasses as one form of mask.

Why am I really hiding behind it? What am I hiding? I've always said, I like how I look in glasses ... I dunno ... I'm not gonna allow my brain to think about this right now. I have much work to do. I just thought I'd share . . .
