my eyes are freaking me out

i have a large floater in my right eye and i have to blink several times sometimes to be able to see clearly and the older i get the less viscous my vitreous humor will be...and i'm not sure, but i think i saw flashes the other night when trying to get to sleep...

i am VERY myopic to start with...it's all a little scary...eye problems for a visual artist...not to mention humans are just a visual species...and on top of that i have a very poor sense of balance when my eyes are closed...

at my last eye dr. appt. the dr. said my lenses were stretching which is normal with age and why most "normal" people need glasses around 40 or so...but that everything was looking healthy...let's hope it stays that way...

It's so creative and reinforcing some of the things I identified in therapy that I need to work on and I can just imagine sitting around into my 90s with a group of solid individuals I call friends and playing these games. It gets more fun the more I play! I don't recommend waiting till you're 46 to start playing if you have _any_ interest. The thing that struck me early on is that I've spent my whole life trying not to look stupid which is ultimately self-censorship. I think women probably do it more than men and I can't even imagine how much it happens for people with other othernesses. But people who started playing D&D before or right when they hit puberty have this sense of freedom and curiosity in...
