For Halloween; I am going as the Cheshire Wolf (essentially just a twist on the Cheshire Cat). Since I'm going as this, I had my dad order blue cat eye contacts for me online. They came in last week, and they're awesome! Since contact lenses only have an 8-month lifespan before they expire and are unwearable, I've been wearing them almost every day. This is also helpful because it gets me used to putting them in, taking them out and caring for them. I also wear them to get used to the feel in my eye so that it doesn't irritate me on Halloween.
However, I have gone out with them in a few times... and the looks I get from others aren't exactly very nice. Mostly, little children will give me odd looks; but I've also received a few strange glances from adults as I pass them in the store too. Children give looks of fascination; I've come to find... where adults simply look at me like there's something wrong. I've come to the conclusion that adults have a warped sense of judgement- that anything that doesn't look right should be frowned upon, almost. Meanwhile, children don't quite understand and while they may be confused, they won't be judgemental. It's odd how society can mold you into its ways as you grow up... how judgement of others suddenly leaps into existence and becomes important when you reach about 6 or 8. Oddly enough I saw a photo on facebook that is almost relevant to this blog post earlier- it said "none of us are born racist" and showed a small white child holding the hand of a darker skinned man while her mother simply looked the other way. There is also another photo I have seen online that states "all of us are born atheists, until someone starts feeding us lies". It's possibly one of my favorite memes out there; because of its brutal honesty. There is no logic behind religion whatsoever... and no historical proof. However, that is a blog post for another day. I have to go. ~Maddie
