The Time I Got My Glasses

I never want to wear glasses.
I tried to fool myself that I can live without it.
It could have been possible if I chose not to become a writer
 
(on second thought... I never really chose to become a writer. I just found myself sitting in front of my desktop typing a few articles. Before I knew it, I was desperate to have my laptop because I feel incomplete without creating an article or two. Who made me a writer? I still don't know, but I am very thankful for he introduced me into this world)


I don't know if I have the authority to say that I am a writer. I feel I am. My clients feel the same. The institution feels otherwise. I don't have a diploma to brag that I am one. I just have my articles to justify that I am. They call me a blogger...

     Why is a blogger not a writer?


I guess the one they consider writers are the one creating novels and having their work published in magazines and newspapers. I do acknowledge them as writers. Do I wish them to acknowledge me as one too?

   No!

  I don't care if they do. They are not the one providing me a living. It is my precious clients. I do my best to impress them and that is enough. The recognition of the world will soon follow. I don't know when that will happen, but I believe I will be recognized sooner or later.

I now have my glasses on. I want to mark this day. June 15. A few days after the Independence Day of the Philippines.

I am still not comfortable wearing it.
I don't know if I ever will be.
Other's may start saying that I look funny with my glasses on.
Some may say it fits me well.

Is that of any importance?
I just want to get rid of the frequent headaches that I have been enduring for the past days.

The glasses will help it get away.

Soon, these glasses will become part of me.
