I have shitty eyesight but sitting here in the middle of the night in the passenger seat of this road trip, I've taken off my glasses to relax my eyes. And the lights of the cars coming from the other side is so enchanting. I feel drugged honestly watching the large sparkling lights grow nearer and shrink and zoom by. The trucks especially go from a bright orange blob to slowly spreading into a pair of yellow lights, three pairs of orange lights, and a pair of red lights perfectly in straight lines and then abruptly shifting into focus. I don't know how to explain how mesmerizing it is. I do not go out without my glasses because it feels frankly dangerous to be this blind but it is fun in a safe environment.

Is this a safety hazard? I don’t know. Is the current state of headlights a safety hazard??? that’s the real q. While I try to navigate the terrors of BRIGHT LED headlights at night, I pop on a trusty barely tinted pair of sunglasses to cut the difference. I can still see the lines and cars around me, I am safe, but the blaring white bright of the car behind me lessens and I can focus on what I came here to do. Drive.

Been driving at night without my glasses for about 5 years? Finally felt like it was time a few weeks ago and ayo, there must be some divine being looking out for me because I’m shocked that I didn’t die. Driving with the HD vision is the move I tell ya. Get those eyes checked regularly. Yes it is that bad. Don’t second guess it. Squinting is not the move people.

I still feel like I don’t need to always wear my glasses, but I did in fact fail my visual test for my drivers license renewal. I splurged on a pair of prescription sunglasses and I’ll never go back. Only downside with these is that you can see my eyes and I can’t pretend to be mysterious.

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
