My whole life I’ve felt like I have great eyesight (and I still do).

But lately I’ve been noticing what feels like…some slippage.

Nothing big. Just this feeling in the morning like, as my brain and body wake up, my vision needs to as well.

The strange novelty of this phenomenon was operating in some small part of my subconscious the other day when I was scrolling the internet and come across this post from Chris Coyier:

you ever get to your mid fourties and have your eyesight drop off a friggin cliff

And I’m all like:

And then even more people weighed in on Chris’ thread, like “Hey me too!”

This is why I love the web. I continually get that feeling of, “Oh hey, it’s not just me!” On both a personal and a professional level.

And for that I’m grateful.

I love being able to connect with people in a way that makes me not feel so alone (or weird) in my experience of life.

In a polarized digital world, it’s good to remember that the web can still draw you to folks rather than push them away.

We’ve got a lot in common.
