So here’s the thing—I love losing myself in a good book. Especially fiction. There’s something about curling up with a novel and letting the story take over that feels like therapy. But a few months back, I noticed something strange: whenever I spent an hour or more reading, especially digital books, my eyes would start…
Ever caught yourself sniffing a strong essential oil, only to suddenly notice strange little specks or squiggly lines drifting across your vision? It’s oddly disconcerting, right? I remember the first time this happened to me with a peppermint diffuser—thought I was losing it. Turns out, seeing floaters when smelling strong essential oils is more common…
Not gonna lie—seeing strange specks or squiggly threads float across my vision used to totally freak me out. Especially when they seemed to *only* show up when my mood shifted. Like, I’d be stressed, anxious, or even suddenly relaxed after a long cry, and boom—there they were. Little translucent shadows dancing across my sight. I…

I remember one session where I left the spa thinking I had glitter stuck in my eye. Turns out, it wasn’t glitter at all—it was something much…
Last weekend, I found myself squinting at a brightly lit mall directory, trying to make sense of the glowing maze of store names while little grayish specks danced across my field of vision.
