Breaking up isn't always hard

Dear glasses,

We have been together for more than 20 years. You've always been there to comfort me after a long day of staring at the computer. But lately, I've been thinking that you've really let yourself go. You've just gotten bigger and bigger over the years. And I feel like I've gotten weaker and weaker the longer I stay with you. Not to mention that you sometimes are not the cleanest thing on the planet, which makes it very hard for me to function. I do acknowledge that you are always in the forefront to protect me, but I need you to also be able to protect yourself. I need to learn how to be independent. I need to be strong. So, I'm sorry to do this, glasses, but I'm going to have to break up with you. Maybe someday after we've had some time apart, we can reunite and you can be there for me only when I need to read. But for now, I need my space. And it's definitely not me, it's you.

Sincerely,

Stephanie's eyes
