Even now that I only have one eye, maybe I see more things than before. My life was completely against the clock, a fight against the stopwatch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance.
On a spiritual level, it's as though with my sighted eye I see what's before me, and with my unsighted eye I see what's hidden. It's illuminated life more than darkened it.
I'm seeing the world partially through the eyes of a kid. Not all the time. There's no black and white to it. But sometimes I'm seeing it like I'm 4.
I am like a security camera ever on the watch. The furtive quality of vision feels to me like an incredibly valuable weapon. Everything I see gets transformed into a private sketch or painting in my mind, stored away for future reference, future evidence, future ammunition.
I knew people were going to see me see deteriorate before their eyes.
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
I do know that I have always been one of life's observers, always standing slightly on the outside, watching.
Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.
I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal!
Ever since I became a parent, time moves far too quickly. My vision always feels like I'm wearing giant kaleidoscope-goggles.
