    Found out about these when I was a kid. I was thrilled. When I was very little, my mom owned a grooming shop, and I basically had 1 million pets. Then she closed down, and we just had our dog and a cat. Weird little 5 year old me loved the idea that I had thousands of little pets that’s slept on my face and came out to play while I slept

        I will admit that since I’ve started wearing glasses, my eyes often burn really badly (I don’t know if they’re related or just weird timing), and I sometimes wonder if my little friends are pissed about the change and getting into my eyes. Lol

            That’s interesting. I hadn’t really considered that. It really only happens towards the end of the day, I just assumed it was a buildup of oils/skin cells/daily detritus that isn’t getting either blown away by air, because the lenses are blocking it, or dried out for the same reason. They’re Zenni frames and lenses
