Blinded from the Sunset
Vision is a gift, which is why I like to take pictures. Capturing the light perfectly, the unusual positions of nature, catching animal smiles, and peopleââ¬â¢s laughter are all things that need to be shared. Which got me thinking, what if I lost my sight? Blinded in a world of dark and mystery. That is the scariest thing, not monsters or ghosts, but darkness. What if there was a surgery that could let me see for one day only, would I take it? If I was blind, it would be very tempting to not get the surgery. There would be so many things that I would want to experience, to see. A sunset for example, the perfect pallet of orange, yellow, red, and purple blended together as the opening act for the moon. Figuring out what my friends look like, or what I look like! Discovering why people use green as envy, or painting with pretty pink for the first time. After the 24 hours are up, what now? Would I be forced back into the darkness? The sinking feeling when I realize that m y vision is fading, and my surroundings closing in. After seeing all the opportunities, the door closes and Iââ¬â¢m alone again, with only memories. I would feel more of an outsider than ever. Stranded with only the desire to go back to the land of texture, colors, and light. I would get the surgery, so I wouldnââ¬â¢t regret it the rest of my life, but if you were blind but could get surgery to see for one day...would you?
