Addicted to circle lenses

So this post idea started out from a few days ago, when I had lost my last pair of circle lenses. I went to the bathroom to take out my contacts at night like normal, but then one fell out and became lost forever! I had ordered another pair not too long ago but I was still waiting for them in the mail, which meant I had to go at least a few days with just wearing glasses and most importantly, no circle lenses at all!!

To most I guess this doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it made me realize how much I have changed over the years. I ordered my first pair of circle lenses when I was 15 or 16 and have been wearing them almost every day of my life since. I do not leave the house without putting them in, and at first I didn't even need a prescription because my eyes were fine! But then later on I really needed contacts cause I just couldn't see as well as I used to. This just made me realize something about myself. I think I've become more comfortable with how I look since back then.

Circle lenses are great because you can change the color of your eyes and most of all you can make them look big and cute and innocent and honestly, I've gotten so used to wearing them that at first, it disgusted me to even look in the mirror. I thought I just looked sad and my eyes were so small I absolutely hated it! Which now I can look back on and its really quite sad. These are the eyes that I was born with so why can't I be happy with them?

I'm not quite over circle lenses even now, and I will continue to wear them in the future, but this really made me realize how important it is to be okay with how you look, because no matter how often you put something on like lenses or makeup, that eventually goes away and all you're left with is just your true self.  I think this addiction is so real and lenses are becoming so popular nowadays. It has literally taken years for me to think like this and even though I am still not 100% comfortable now, I feel like this is an important step for me.

Does anyone feel like this as well? I think it's super important to step back and take the circle lenses off, and just look at your true self in the mirror every once in a while, and even if you don't like it I think you'll learn to like and appreciate it because that's just you and you can't change that. I don't know that's just how I feel at least.

Thanks ^^
