An eye patch
I’m wearing an eye patch cause I want to be a pirate.
Just kidding.
I’m wearing an eye patch cause I want to exercise my left eye.
When I was around 3 years old, I woke up from an afternoon nap cross-eyed. The doctors were not sure why but assumed it was nerves related.
After 2 surgeries on my left eye and 1 on my right eye, my left eye is still a bit cross-eyed.
Being extra tired, excited and nervous all contribute to how cross-eyed it will get.
Not only am I very self conscious of this left eye of mine (hate taking pictures straight on) but, if I cover my right eye, I do not have the same strength or eye sight.
The other night while having some drinks at K’s house, I was telling her all of this and I said “I should wear an eye patch”.
Out of nowhere K pulled one out of her kitchen drawer. Cause you know, everyone has one of those just laying around…
I wore it for the rest of the night and it really helped my eye a lot.
I think I will start wearing an eye patch. (wink. with my left eye)

Obsessing over…. design, fashion and life style blogs
Working on…. painting. it’s been a goal of mine this year to start painting again and i’m happy to say i painted all weekend and completed a body of work
Thinking about…. the positive
Anticipating…. all that is to come this year

Eating… anything that Will cooks up
Wishing…. it was colder out and that we lived closer to family

My best friend is going in for eye surgery on Wednesday. Same thing happened to her while she was pregnant. Now, it wont stop. The eye patch definitely helped her!

I have the same problem with my left eye. It gets really bad when I am tired. Maybe I need to get an eye patch. I think your photo is cute.
