[B] I'm wearing my glasses now. I've been wearing the same glasses for the past 9 or 10 years, of course with some changes in perscription. To be fully honest, this pair I've only had for 8 years or so, but the style is the same.
So much has changed about me, but my glasses have not.
I had my eyes checked recently, and talked with my parents about getting new glasses. Just barely on the edge of adulthood, I could probably still get that by without problem. We were going to do it even, but never did. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw all of the same things I've seen for so long. They're round, fully rimmed, a bit uneven looking on my face.
But then I realized that I wanted them. I made the choice to have them as my glasses. This will be who I am now. Maybe I'll change glasses later, but I decided these are the ones I want.
It's nice believing that you like something. I'm not saying I had to talk myself into it; I just had to believe it, and I do. To be quite honest, it is liberating.

I actually watched the whole video, maybe cause i cant sleep. but I liked the points it made, something to think about. I mean I know its from an evolution stand point but I think I agree with the thoughts at the end. It kind of reminded me of Paul choosing that in any situation he would be content. Just like you choosing that the glasses where what you wanted. I like that. We read this guy for my moral identity development class, an old preacher/theologian smart smart man. And he defined sin as the misuse of our freedom, or choice. I think that can tie in to this video too some how. anyways thanks for adding me to ur emails.
