It sucks to see clearly

**This post in my head was very literal. But as I typed, it evolved into a metaphorical description of the statement**

My other glasses counterparts will confirm that seeing clearly has its disadvantages. From the growing dependence on the object to the fogginess on your lenses when you move from cold to warm weather or stand over a boiling pot. From the line on the bridge of your nose to the pressure of the handles on the back of your head. Point? Seeing clearly has its disadvantages.

It has sort of the same disadvantages as "seeing cearly" i.e. seeing life clearly. Viewing life as it really is, seeing people as they really are and situations as they occur. You'd think it'd make life easier, but you're wrong. The perfect person becomes extremely flawed, the good actions clear to reveal cruel intentions and the relationships you THOUGHT you had are meaningless. Yes, it sucks to see clearly. But you know what? I'd rather not walk around living life in a bubble. I'd rather see things/people for what they really are. And if there's a problem, then I can deal with it.

This is not a rant; just another realization of my twenties-hood. Is this what it's like? Getting older and more mature. Unnecessary things fade into the distance and like putting on a my NEW glasses, life HAPPENS in 3D.

We live and we learn; I'm not perfect and don't want to be. If I was, where would I go from there?

Smiling and laughing; I relax because I know everything will sort itself out.

Worrying is for the "blurry-eyed"; I'm seeing clearly now.
