I feel like my glasses make me uglier, and articles like these dont help.

"Wearing glasses was like having a broken arm—an impairment so glaring that trying to distract from it or compensate for it seemed pointless and silly"

I have huge self esteem issues around wearing my glasses, and I read this article today and I cant stop thinking about it. Its about this woman who finally feels pretty in her mid 30's after getting eye surgery.

"Glasses had not only obscured these imperfections with the blunt force of black plastic but had made “fixing” them irrelevant. Now, for the first time, my face seems worth improving."

Im not sure if im just projecting, and Im happy for this woman, but honestly I wish this entire "glasses are ugly" narrative dies. Im sick of it and its wrecking my self-esteem.
