Reading the statement “Limits begin where vision ends” on social media, I knew that it was made metaphorically, but it spoke to me also from a literal perspective. I will admit that when I initially suffered the loss of my sight it felt as though I had nothing but limitations. But this shifted as I got creative doing daily things, such as filling a glass without overflowing it and organizing my clothes and jewelry in a way that would allow me to dress and accessorize easily, and the bigger things, imagining a new and different career for myself. It wasn’t premeditated but by figuring out how to live a life without 20/20 I have accomplished more than I ever had when I was driven to overachieve with my optic nerves at 100%.
For me, limits ended when my vision did.
