Atypical & Awesome “Hazel Eyes”

I never knew I have hazel eyes until I started dating my husband. I always thought I had brown eyes. Big, yes, but brown. Why does this matter? For many years, I was in a negative situation. A very negative situation followed by an equally negative situation. I had no confidence as a result of these situations. Phillip was the first person to recognize something about myself- so obvious but something I never saw. He told me my eyes are “electric- like electric hazelnuts- they just sparkle”. I laughed because I thought that was a funny statement and vowed to name any future punk band I’m involved in “The Electric Hazelnuts”- lol I went home after that date and looked at myself in the mirror and for the first time in years, if not my life I really looked at myself. My eyes do sparkle, and they are hazel. I am so grateful for that guy who is now my husband for seeing the beautiful qualities in me and more importantly, helping me see them in myself.
