OMG I can relate [Moments you think others can relate to] |

Anyone else do this? |
|
When I wake up, it looks like I'm looking through frosted glass. |
|
Needless to say, I've run into things many times. My bed is |
|
the worst--that thing hurts. |

Frosted glass is a great way to explain it! I've never thought |
|
of it that way! |
|
I walk into everything too. The thing that scares me the most |
|
though in the morning are the stairs outside my bedroom. |
|
They're between my room and the bathroom and I'm always afraid |
|
I'm going to misplace a step fall down them. Which I have done |
|
before, it hurts. At least they're carpeted unlike the stairs |
|
at my grandparent's house (which I have also fallen down). |
|
Stairs are the worst. |

That sounds awful. It's hard for me to manage stairs even when |
|
I can see them. A few days ago, I missed one of the steps |
|
walking out my door and I fell down so quick on the concrete. I |
|
think my body saved me the way I fell because I could have |
|
easily twisted my ankle. I'm constantly thanking my body and |
|
reflexes because they can help even when my eyes can't. |
|
Another thing I do is when someone is showing me something, like |
|
a joke picture or something, I laugh. Even though I can't see |
|
it. I've faked so many times. |

Same here, like when my friend tries to show me a funny picture |
|
on her phone. Its always too small and she forgets I can't see |
|
so I laugh so I don't hurt her feelings. |
