See, I was 17, driving to get some Vietnamese noodles with my best friend. He said turn right on Hyde Street. I said, "I can't read the sign." He looked at me, "You can't read the sign? You can't read that?" No, I couldn't. I was looking, but it turned out I needed glasses since the 7th grade. I've been sitting in the back of every classroom since I was 12, copying from the kid next to me, guessing at the board because I thought that that's just what school was. See, my sister was even studying to be an optometrist. She always wanted to be one since the 4th grade. She was in the house, yet nobody noticed because blurry was my normal. I didn't know I couldn't see because I'd never seen clearly. Most of the rules we're living by are the same thing. Absorbed so young, practiced so long that we think that's just how things are. We don't know we're missing something because we've never seen without them. I'm Jerry S. Lin. I help people finally see clearly. Follow if that's what you're looking for.
