About

My name is Chris.  Despite the name, I’m a girl, and I’m also legally blind, which makes the whole facebook/blog thing a little tricky.  However, with the ever-advancing technology available to aid the visually impaired, I am venturing into the blogosphere.  I haven’t found many blogs addressing the issue of low vision, so feel free to give me a shout if you find one or you have one.

That isn’t my whole life, though; in fact, it’s only a small part of it.  I have a fulfilling job and a wonderful circle of friends and family, and most people don’t realize I can’t see well unless I tell them.  I also get to bypass the whole appearance obsession, since I can’t actually see what anyone looks like, including myself.  Don’t ask me how I managed to be a makeup artist while I was in school.  All I can tell you is that overly-sensitive fingertips give me some mad blending skills.

To me, the world is fuzzy.  I like it that way.  I just assume everyone is gorgeous and the world looks amazing.  I’m sad that I may go completely blind someday, but I know there are benefits to blindness as well as drawbacks, and I have hope that before the lights go all the way out, there will be some way to save my vision.
