I only have eyes for you....

Eyes are probably the first physical feature that I myself notice in others. Needless to say, eyes are in fact quite beautiful. As simple as an eye may seem, I put forward the idea that there is in fact so much more I what an eye is and what exactly makes them exquisite.

Eyes are helpful to live life. However Rey aren't a necessity.

I am a person who had needed to wear glasses since age six and they have been both a blessing and a curse. I have been teased and felt ugly. On the other side of my attitude I feel blessed by having glasses- they allow me to see and they have become a part of my identity.

Age 17 and 22 I was faced with two separate retinal detachments- both eyes. Both detachments called for major surgery which consisted of having a rubber band placed around each eye and also filled with a gas bubble that acted as a cast repairing the retina so I could see life.

After both surgeries I would have no choice but to rely on one eye to work for both while the other healed behind a patch. It was amazing to see life's brutal honesty during those months.

A person could see the hearts and genuine care people had for others and the compassion vision was extreme, all trough one eye.

It was during those times in my life that I realized that eyes are a gift and not a necessity.

Beyond eyes being a gift providing sight, the beauty of what eyes are runs much deeper. I firmly believe that eyes are not the windows of the soul. Rather they are the most honest voices we have within each of our bodies. A persons eyes tell a story, exposes feelings, seeks help, and illuminates pains and pleasures a person experiences.

Eyes reveal the pains of the past and the hopes of a persons future. They communicate when they are in love and they showcase when they feel hate. They signal to others if someone is trustworthy or shall be avoided. Eyes are a compass, a comfort, and a courage beyond what the cowardly lion could ever seek for.

Make up enhances eyes to be more 3D and appealing to the attraction of others. However, the inner softness of eyes is what's splendid. Eyes are beautiful because they have a lot to say and a eye for an eye is what it takes to stop look and listen in order to discover the beauty that lies within others.
