When I was little, I used to get distracted a lot. I would get in trouble often at field trips or girl scouts-- because eveyone would walk off, not noticing that I was still staring at that tree. lol I guess I kinda still stare at trees, but I don't get in as much trouble for it now...
I had a million "imaginary" friends, and spent much time in my own world, looking off into space, just basically in my head.... Well, when I was four we moved into this house in Florida and my parents decided to paint the walls yellow. Everything was yellow. Good Lord. Okay, not the point... but I remember staring at those yellow walls and always seeing little dots appear and then disappear. Sometimes they would be a sparkly white, sometimes blue. And the more I stared, the more things would gain my attention, like the point at which our eyes adjust to color and leave an imprint of the object you just took your eyes off... Funny thing is, the dots were never in my direct eye-line-- I always knew they were there and was positive of their presence, but they seemed to enjoy the perreferial view moreso than straight on. I told my parents about this, and they took me to get glasses, writing it off as eye problems. Turned out I had astigmatizm (k, I don't know the spelling for that word-- or grammar it should be used in... just know it affects my sight somehow
). And the dots slowly started disappearing. It seemed that the more I talked about it, the more they ceased to be.
Around my 13th birthday, we put wall paper up and I got away from the "wierd girl who just stares" and all of the sparkling dots kind of subsided for good. Until, that is around 2 months ago.
They seem to have come back with even more of a force and I really don't believe it has anything to do with eyesight, because my eyesight hasn't changed at all since I've gotten glasses. My prescription literally has stayed exactly the same.
Has anyone else ever experienced these little sparkles and/or does anyone have any suggestions to what they are?
lol or am I just crazy and seeing things??
