My whole life has been building up to this moment.. everyone has always told me not to look at the Sun during an eclipse.... teachers, parents, television, newspapers, the government........ and now that is exactly THE ONLY THING I want to fucking do today.. .....I just want to take a quick peek at the sun!! holy shit it is taking EVERY OUNCE of my willpower not to look at the sky right now. It's like a mighty itch.. but for my eyes.

I'm writing this post just so I can distract myself from the fact that there's a yearning sun, begging to be stared at right now just outside my window within eyeball reach. It is so close and I can hear it's siren song beckoning. God help me, and may it end swiftly.

Poke a hole in a piece of paper.

Sadly too late, the eclipse is past us :(

Yep though I did manage to kind of peak just before it went dark through a bunch of tree branches... I couldn't help it

I went to a funeral and the exact moment it started was when the eclipse was at its peak

That's pretty beautiful, not going to lie. Were you in the path of totality!

It was awe inspiring for me. Absolutely incredible.

Gotta admit, I looked. It was incredible. I haven't gone blind yet but I'll update if it changes.

I only glanced and only when I was sure totality was going to last the whole glance.
