A New Side of Me

I found a pair of huge spectacles in the box on my table. It is my brothers. I took it out and tried to put it on. I looked in the mirror and I saw a new person, a new side of me. I look like a nerd with the huge spectacles but as I looked deeper, I somehow look like an intelligent person, charismatic and professional. I love that new look of me but how am I suppose to be that type of a person with a pair of huge spectacles on me? It'll surely shock my friends who know me best, my personalities, my fashions and my true self. While playing with the spectacles and making lots of face expressions in front of the mirror, I told myself,

" Well, this is not bad... I look way cuter than without it." Then, I giggled by myself.

Well, you know what, if I were a person with short or long sightedness, I would be proud of myself with this spectacles on me. I thought, a person with a pair of spectacles has two types of personality. The personality in the world that lies beyond the spectacles than the other world that lies within that two thick frames. They are unique aren't they? Funny how an object could change someone's appearance and confuse others who are looking of their true personality. For someone who really want to have a change in her life like me, I really wanted to wear one because I want to be born as a new person. Let people get confused of who I really am as long as I am still the same person be it in both worlds beyond or within the frames. 

My brother wears spectacles. Not as a plaything like I did. It is a need. He has quite severe long-sightedness and it really makes him feel a little bothered by it. He has a hard life with his disability to see the world clearly like normal people do. In short, he dislikes wearing spectacles. As a result, he wears contact lens instead. I was wondering, and asked myself,

" Doesn't he look handsome with that pair of spectacles? Why did he remove it?"

Perhaps he was thinking, there's no use if he's wearing or not wearing the spectacles as he will be the same person anyway. Assuming by putting it on will change his personality is actually unlogical assumption. Wearing spectacles all the time makes his world looks abnormal, as if his sight has been limited to a size that only fits into the two frames of the spectacles. Well, he might be right but I guess he has another reason for refusing to wear it. He wants to be a normal person so that he'll be able to get along with normal people whom most of them do not need a pair of spectacles to live. Well, life is mainly about how good you get yourself well into the society as well.

But still, I wish to wear it one day, not as an object that I need, perhaps as an object to inspire me instead so that I'll feel confident, charismatic and professional when putting it on.
