This happened many months ago, but thought it was appropriate with Singles Awareness Day just around the corner:
Let me preface this by saying I kind of knew the breakup was going to happen and went ahead and played Vivid Vision that night anyway.
It basically went down like this: I did my vision therapy and was seeing 3D. About fifteen minutes later, I got a text from the person I was dating, asking to meet me for a drink. I thought, This is odd. We usually go to a restaurant together, not meet at one…the breakup is going down. I begrudgingly got into my Jeep and drove to the restaurant.
In the lobby of the restaurant, I realized how much this was going to suck. I could visibly see the anxiety dripping off their face. I thought maybe I could just close an eye so the intensity would go away, but then I realized I didn’t want to be remembered as the person with a pirate eye they broke up with. I kept both eyes open and absorbed their emotions.
The hostess sat us at a table, but we did not stay long. Walking to the parking lot, I saw the space between us grow as we went our separate ways.
Being broken up with in 3D was too intense. For the first time in my life, I was sad in the moment. Before, I would usually get the information and then process it later. But in 3D, I had no choice but to experience the emotional pain in realtime. It is something that I am getting used to, but in a way, I feel more alive than before.
Breaking up in 3D is definitely different and not quite as exciting as seeing an amazing plate of food in 3D; however, I am happy I can do both.
As usual, if there is something you would like for me to write about or if you have any questions about my vision therapy experience, please fill out my contact form.
Until next time,
