One of my eyes has a huge scar in it that takes up half the vision. I basically trained myself to mainly look out of the other eye.

It was interesting to me. You don't realize that being blind doesn't mean you see blackness. You just literally do not see anything. There's nothing to see. It's simply something that does not exist.

The hardest part was the blind part turned into brightness when I close my eyes. So I can't fall asleep to darkness anymore. It's very weird. There's lots of things like that you never expect in life when you're injured.

Could you still imagine things?
