so, i was talking to this young lady who told me that she wouldn’t want to date me because i had black eyes. and that i struck me odd. black eyes? i always thought i had brown eyes. yeah, they were dark, but they would really shine in the sun or under some bright light. did i look like an alien to her or something? being who i am, i wasn’t really bothered by it and she wouldn’t be worth dating if she was buggin’ over something so superficial.
but then i began got to thinking about others. a lot of celebrities like Rihanna and Michael Ealy got them crazy hazel and blue eyes, and i’ve seen a lot of black people put in contacts to try and imitate the look. my only concern about that is that if you do that, do it because you want to, not because you’re insecure about your looks. be proud of what you have.
whether they be blue, black, green, or grey, your eyes are beautiful the way they are. real talk.
