Really lovely. this is what my world looks like when I take off my glasses.
Nooo now I don't associate this with happy things anymore 
My eyesight's been getting worse, too. I have to get used to wearing glasses all the time and I'm just like AUGH DO NOT WANT. It just doesn't feel "me" at all. (and yes, I'm this whiny whenever someone brings up glasses. Horrible, I know.)

When I found out I needed glasses, I would read every road sign and billboard aloud as my parents were driving me to school and around, so as to prove my vision was perfectly fine. At first I had dreams about my eyesight being healed and not having to wear those hateful lenses, but now, 14 years or so later, I actually can't see myself without them. They've become part of my self-identity.
...Then again, I was a kid when I got them. DX Try contact lenses, maybe?

Yeah, I've heard people say that glasses are part of their identity, but I just can't see that happen with me (and frankly, I don't want it. I prefer hating my glasses 
) Just curious, if you could somehow fix your eyes now with no side effects, would you do it? And if yes, would you wear non-prescription glasses?
The eye doctor said I couldn't wear contact lenses for more than 8 hours at a time. I don't know if she's just distrustful towards contacts, or there is something particular about my eyes that prevents it. As far as I read on my own, there are lenses that can be worn for much longer than that. (For some reason, most doctors can't be bothered to really talk to their patients in detail around here. I liked biology and I read medical articles of varying difficulty even now, so it's not like the lingo confuses me. Doctors, please tell me what's wrong with me, that helps as much as the prescription you're giving.)
She also said that eye surgery wouldn't help much so it wouldn't be worth it either (not that I could afford it anyway). So now I have this horrible feeling of "I'm stuck with glasses forever" and stubbornly only wear them at home. Thankfully, I can function without them too, but it's weird to make a noticeable effort to just look at things.
I'm being very immature about this, I know. I wish I were one of those people who look good in glasses.

I dunno, I bet it's harder for an adult to adjust to glasses than a kid. I sympathize.
Also, that really sucks about the contacts. Your doctor needs to be more helpful.
