No this isn’t about the TLC singer Left-Eye, it is about my left eye.
It’s leaky. I blame it on an overactive tear duct. I’m not sure why it happens, but that is the logical solution to me. Every once and a while, really daily at least, my left eye starts tearing slightly. It’s not crying, unless people only cry out of one eye, and I can’t trace it to any particular stimuli, it’s random, and weird.
So yeah. I have a leaky left eye. It is ok though. It’s not like a bazillion tears a minute, but subtly, I’ll notice a tear building up in my eye and ready to flow. I usually non-chanlantly wipe it away before it tears up. But its there, and it continues to happen regularly.
It doesn’t really bug me. I think Sam is the only other person that knows about it, to the point where she can now recognize when it is leaky. No one else has ever asked or noticed. And it doesn’t really bug me, it just is. It is a quirk of my body, like my pinky finger I can’t straighten, only being able to breathe out of one side of my nose at a time, my hitch-hiker’s thumbs, and abundant knee-fat.
Damn my awesome body.
