I know my eyesight is getting worse. I’ve known for a long time. But last night when I tried to do some crafting and I couldn’t see well enough to thread ribbon through a bead- a fairly large bead, not a tiny one- I was hit with just how severe my disability is becoming.

My dream of opening my own etsy store online are crushed. If I can’t see well enough to make anything, how can I make anything to sell? Most of the time I try to keep a positive outlook but right now I feel hopeless and depressed. I know there are a lot of people out there with worse problems than this… but why did it have to happen to me? Today I wallow in self pity. Tomorrow I’ll try to be positive again.
