Author's Note: So this morning I was in a creative mood and felt like writing this. I hope you like it, comment what you think!
My name is Noah, and
I am blind. "How does it feel,"
you may ask. It feels empty, like something is missing, which it is. I
can experience every other emotion or feeling that life has to offer but I
cannot see. I cannot see the leaves
change colors and drift off the tall oak trees in the autumn wind, I cannot see
the salty ocean water crash into the rocky shore, I cannot even see my own wife
anymore. All these things that I just mentioned are privileges, privileges that
I do not have, privileges I have lost. A
wise man once said, "You don't realize how vital something is until it is
gone." He speaks the truth, for I
know first hand what he is saying, I have lived what he is saying. I may never
get my sight back, it may be gone forever, but I will never stop regretting
taking the natural beauties of this world for granted. This world is filled
with wondrous things, things that I can no longer see or experience. Things
that you shouldn't take for granted like I did, things that you should
appreciate. Because some day, when you die, you will wish you hadn't taken all
those little things for granted.
