#monolid problems

Cyberoptics and a 'ganic eye. 👁️👁️ V For her, I specifically wanted non-normal looking eyes. This isn't even her first pair of cyberoptics. She already had her 'ganic ones replaced some time before working for Arasaka. (She has the typical overbearing Asian mom, so her mom was with her when she had it done, chose the most normal style — as close to V's 'ganic eyes, so her eyes are upgraded while still looking discreetly unchanged). So when she was kicked out of 'Saka, living so differently from all she's ever known for the first time, she was able to finally pick a style for herself. Asking Vik to show her all the fashion optics he has to offer. Jackie smiled warmly at her, and Misty adored her choice. Her eyes looked like the galaxy, and when viewed from the side, looks like it multiplies and expands, and you can get lost in the dimensions. (That, or you can get a headache from looking at it hehe) 🤭 River It's still his first ever cyberoptic since he lost his real left eye, just one of the many dangers in working as a cop in Night City. And he has never changed it because, "It's still working anyways". Some time in the future, when it finally gives up working, he begrudgingly goes to Vik with V to have it replaced with a way-more-advanced-compared-to-his-old-optic but much-older-version-Kiroshi-than-what-is-available-eye, in a shade and pattern to match his 'ganic one. He gets some RealSkinn to reconstruct the eye, and tells Vik to keep the scar around it.

The skin flaps I call eyelids are acting up again. One of them folds into a slight double eyelid while the other is just normal and squinty monolid. I feel so gross and look lopsided. My eyes have been getting progressively asymmetrical. In toulouse last year I got some bug bite or swelling on my monolid eye and it was so weird and awful because it looked like an actual slit while my other eye was normal. I just want them to match. What's wrong with these weird skin flaps. As if I needed another reason to be insecure. I've started reading Brené Brown books cause I'm tired of negativity in my life and i want to really be better but it's so hard. I still wonder how my last relationship would have been different if I had learned these lessons earlier. I still think about him, but only when I'm upset.

In some ways he was better than me. I can recognize that he, at least, could be vulnerable. We had to trust each other -- I put myself alone in his country, his house, but i never relinquished my pride and my fear. I never let myself feel too deeply. I didn't want to fake it anyway. I

This is the absolute worst thing about being half asian: one of your eyelids wants to flip over into a monolid and the other doesn’t. I guess quite literally half of my pair of eyes is white… Eyeliner is always tricky as fuck if I want it to match. I know there are make up tricks to fix the mismatched monolids but I am nowhere near talented enough. Sigh :c

Right now is one of those moments where I just want to rip off my eyelashes

No matter how much I curl them, I always manage to feel like one of them is jabbing me in the eye. And I don't even know why!

I used to complain about this to my optometrist, and he said that because of how my eye is shaped, my lashes will always do that, unless I get surgery to fix it. 

Most days I just endure it, but today it just feels so unbearable and I feel so grouchy about them. I'm trying to see if contact lens are going to help my eyes feel a little better... and they do, I guess. 

Maybe it's time I try and get my eyelashes permed.
