Back in 2015, I became visually impaired from a neurological disorder. Since then, I felt like I couldn’t do normal things sighted people could do.

Last month I started dating a fellow blind person, who has been blind since he was a child. In the month that we have been dating and becoming a couple, we socialized with other blind people here in the city he knows.

Last night we went bowling with an organization that employs blind people. I haven’t done this in almost seven years. Granted, I didn’t hit any pins after I threw the ball (i wasn’t expecting to), but it felt so good to do something I loved to do when I could see. I scored a 70 and a 92 in the two games we played. I kind of teared up a bit when I was bowling because if it wasn’t for the support from my boyfriend to join and do something like this, I’d be at home moping around.
