is it just me?

This article surfaced after I had been looking online at various sunglasses. The operative word being "looking." The odds of me finding a pair of sunglasses is almost non-existent. It was a years long search, but I finally found a pair of BCBG Max Azria sunglasses a couple years ago and I immediately snatched them up. I didn't care about cost - they fit my face! Why, you may ask, was this such a outstanding moment for me? Well, the older I get, the more I realize that I am, indeed Asian. The funny thing is (among many other things that would arise from discussing this topic), for awhile I thought it was just me. Why was it so difficult for me to find sunglasses that would fit me? Did I have a genetic mutation? Was I...abnormal? I couldn't understand especially since the abundance of sunglasses seen in department stores were fitting everyone else!

But no, I am not alone. I am only one of 90 ba-jillion (not a scientific amount) who have encountered this issue. Designer Fei Wang even decided to create an entire line to combat her inability to find well-fitting sunglasses. Oakley offers "Asian fit" options. I'm officially part of the club and I am not, after all, the result of a genetic mutation.

This is yet another moment. Another I-guess-I'm-growing-into-myself moment in which I realize that I need to accept myself for who I am. Non-sunglasses-friendly face and all.
