My life without glasses, coffee and headphones / Mi vida sin lentes, cafe y audifonos (ESP/ENG)

1. Glasses

Throughout my 22 years the most constant thing in my life are my glasses that I have been wearing for so many years that I don't know what a life without them is, I wake up, I stretch my arm to the table, I look for my glasses and I put them on because without glasses I am just me seeing blurry figures, colors, lights and sparkles. I have been wearing the same glasses for more than 5 years now and I should go to the doctor to have them checked, change my formula and look for other glasses, because if I continue like this I will simply go blind without seeing anything at all, and I am not just saying that to exaggerate.

Let me put you in context, a few months ago, in November I went to the beach with my friends, and I took my tent and we had a great time, we drank, we played, we laughed, we ate, we really had fun, so much that it even got dark. And what a bad combination, the night, no light on the beach, my glasses that no longer cooperate and me too drunk, because I started to have a panic and anxiety attack not being able to see anything, and the tent set up, in the dark and I couldn't see less than a meter away. I am very lucky to have friends who helped me to put everything away and take me to a place where I could see, because I was in pain, but I really felt completely blind. After all this stress we all managed to get home safe and sound, but I want to run to an ophthalmologist. Here I attach pictures of before the disaster...

1. Lentes

A lo largo de mis 22 años lo mas constante en mi vida son mis lentes que uso desde hace tantos años que no se que es una vida sin ellos, me despierto estiro el brazo a la mesa busco mis lentes y me los coloco porque sin lentes solo soy yo viendo figuras borrosas, colores, luces y destellos. Ya tengo mas de 5 años usando los mismos lentes y debo ir ya al medico a que me revise, cambie mi formula y buscar otros lentes, ya que si sigo así simplemente me voy a quedar ciega sin ver absolutamente nada, y no lo digo solo por exagerar.

Déjame ponerte en contexto, hace unos meses, en noviembre me fui a la playa con mis amigos, y lleve mi carpa y la pasamos divino, tomamos, jugamos, reímos, comimos de verdad nos divertimos, taaaaanto que hasta se nos hizo de noche. Y que mala combinación la noche, sin luz en la playa, mis lentes que ya no colaboran y yo pasada de tragos, porque me empezó a dar un ataque de pánico y ansiedad no poder ver nada, y la carpa armada, en la oscuridad y yo que no veía a menos de un metro de distancia. Tengo mucha suerte de los amigos que tengo que me ayudaron a guardar todo y llevarme a un lugar donde pudiera ver, porque estaba pasando pena, pero es que de verdad me sentía completamente ciega. Luego de todo este estrés logramos llegar todos bien y tranquilos a nuestras casas, pero yo quiero salir corriendo a un oftalmólogo. Aquí adjunto fotos de antes del desastre...

2. Coffee

We have all seen the movie ENCANTO, where see a little Latino boy drinking coffee in excess, and that boy is me, because coffee has been part of my life since I was 10 years old, because how do you get up a child to go to school at 4am without giving him anything? impossible friends, and less in my case, I like to sleep and rest is divine.

Already as an adult or well almost, at 17 I was told that I suffer from migraine and at first it was a lot of pills, but doing a lot of research I realized that the pills I took had caffeine, and drinking coffee had the same effect and was easier, cheaper and preventive than so many pills, so coffee is my best friend.

Coffee serves as a prophylactic, if I don't have it I will take a lot more pills because my body is already adapted to live with coffee, that feeling of not having started your day until you drink coffee is real, it exists and I feel it.

2. Café

Todos hemos visto la película ENCANTO, en donde sale un pequeño niño latino tomando café en exceso, y es que ese niño soy yo, porque el café ha sido parte de mi vida como desde los 10 años, porque ¿Cómo tu levantas a un niño para ir al colegio a las 4am sin darle nada? imposible amigos, y menos en mi caso, me gusta dormir y descansar es divino.

Ya como adulto o bueno casi, a los 17 me dijeron que sufro de migraña y en un principio fueron muchísimas pastillas, pero investigando mucho me di cuenta de que las pastillas que tomaba tenían cafeína, y tomar café hacia el mismo efecto y era mas fácil, barato y preventivo que tantas pastillas, por lo que el café es mi mejor amigo.

El café me sirve de profiláctico de no tenerlo voy a tomar muchísimas mas pastillas pues ya mi cuerpo se adecuo a vivir con café, esa sensación de no haber empezado tu día hasta tomar café es real, si existe y yo la siento.

3. Music and headphones

Usually when I go out on the street I have to take long trips on trains and buses, because I don't live in the city but in a nearby town, and usually on the road there is no signal to use the phone and send messages, but I can always listen to music, and also this way I take refuge from people yelling, annoying or fighting, people with opinions that I don't share, music that I don't enjoy in the vans and the most unpleasant, the unknown men who make comments about me and my body.

Although the headphones are part of my daily outfit, besides isolating me from the things that I dislike in the street, they also serve me to not bother people with what they are listening to on the phone or videos that are played, to practice listening to languages and recently to listen to salsa and bachata and practice the steps, because I am doing a course of Latin dances that makes me very happy.

I use them so much for this point that I need to buy new ones because one doesn't work anymore, but I'm saving up to buy something else, but I just don't see myself without them, if they get damaged I would surely run for others, because I feel that without them I would become a little crazier than I am.

3. Música y audífonos

Usualmente cuando salgo a la calle tengo que tomar viajes largos en trenes y autobuses, pues no vivo en la ciudad si no en un pueblo cercano, y normalmente en la vía no hay señal para usar el teléfono y mandar menajes, pero siempre puedo escuchar música, además así me refugio de la gente gritando, molesta o peleando, de gente con opiniones que no comparto, música que no disfruto en las camionetas y lo mas desagradable, los hombres desconocidos que hacen comentarios sobre mi y mi cuerpo.

Si bien los audífonos son parte de mi outfit diario, además de aislarme de las cosas que me desagradan en la calle también me sirven para, no molestar a la gente con lo que este escuchando el teléfono o los videos que se reproduzcan, practicar los listenings de los idiomas y recientemente para escuchar salsa y bachata y practicar los pasos, pues estoy haciendo un curso de bailes latinos que me hace muy feliz.

De tanto que los uso para este punto necesito comprar ya unos nuevos pues ya uno no funciona, pero estoy ahorrando para comprar algo mas, pero simplemente no me veo sin tenerlos, si se dañan seguramente correría por otros, porque siento que sin tenerlos me volvería un poco mas loca de lo que soy

Hola amiga, debió ser muy difícil para ti encontrarte así y no poder ver nada, necesitas cambiar tus lentes.

Por lo tanto el café y la música son una combinación muy efectiva para sentarte y escribir buenas historias. Saludos!

Lo sé, estoy en eso, es que unos lentes para mí son bastante costosos porque mi fórmula es alta, pero la idea es cambiarlos lo mas pronto posible 🤓

Bueno con café y música es que escribo en hive 😅

Hasta luego!
