When I was around class 4 or 6 most of my classmates started wearing spectacles and I was very envious of it for I thought it was cool and for aesthetic reasons. My classmates were flaunting it and was wearing branded one which made me more envious. I really did not know the disadvantage of wearing spectacles I only thought if how cool I would look wearing it.

The classmates who were wearing the spectacles were already attractive and pretty which made them look good and I was really envious and thought I too would look really cool and pretty if I start wearing it.

So, I started complaining to my parents that I could not see properly and that I think I need glasses. My parents were hardworking but was tight on money, they sacrifice so much for us, so that we could go to a good school and I was on a most expensive school at that time in my place. They try to provide us with everything we need but some were not possible for them just like my Spectacle demand and I think they knew I was faking it, most of the parents do. 

I would always lie to my friends back at school that I own a Spectacle and used only while studying eventhough I did not own any, I just wanted to be part of the trend and did not want to be left out, at that time I had a perfect eyesight and I did not have any trouble seeing yet I just wanted to own a Spectacle for aesthetic reason.

I would always try on my parents Spectacle and would look myself in the mirror and think that I look really cool eventhough I would always feel dizzy after trying it on but that would never stopped me from trying.

Just like that without owning any Spectacle I finished my schooling till class 10. When I was about to start my class 11 my father took me to an eye doctor and got my eye checked but my eyesight was not that bad, the doctor advised me to wear a Spectacle while reading so my father took me to an Spectacle shop and I was really excited about. Upon reaching the shop when a person in the shop started showing lots of frame I got really nervous and did not know which to choose. But while I was confuse to choose I could see my father getting a bit nervous about the price, at that time I did not know the value of money but I did not want my father to be uncomfortable so I just told him to choose a frame for me but that it just have be in red colour. So I just watch my father choosing for me and  he was encouraging me to try the frames on while asking the prices I tried and after so much of trial and negotiation we ended up buying a pink coloured Spectacle. I did not care what type or kind my Spectacle was but I was just excited to be able to own it. As time went by I started owning lots of Spectacle as my eyesight started decreasing but I still have that pink Spectacle my father bought for me for the first time.

I wrote this blog not to criticize the one wearing spectacle but because it is my journey.
