So interesting to hear. And this is why it’s important that you don’t lump people together but realise people have their own experiences when you’re putting things in place for accessibility or trying to help people, don’t make assumptions.
This is also why so many people like this (with disabilities, or part of a minority race/religion/etc.) typically don't like the questions of "what is this like as a (x) person?"... I mean number one, the questions tend to be repetitive (every single one of her videos have comments underneath like "How do you read and write comments if you're blind???" etc.) but also the question itself is a generalisation and it is demanding that the person you're asking generalises their entire condition and every other person with it. There is also the worry that people will try to whiteknight by arguing against people with the condition, based off of what you said about your individual experiences. 🙄
@@travelwell6049 Whiteknighting is basically someone going in defending someone but typically with a savior complex So they think they’re doing well, even though they could be not, because their resources were limited, or because their information was false, or a generalization
@@rafinyx1142 losing your sight isn't the end of the world. It's a struggle, but I don't think it's anything to be superstitious about. I think there are more important things to worry about.
Both do have light perception so they don’t see nothing, only a small percent of blind people don’t see anything. They can see if they’re looking at a source of light, but they can’t see or visualize color
its videos like this that show that all of us blind people experience the world differently. I hate it when people lump us into the same group. I once had a teacher insist that since her blind friend can read off a laptop with a magnifier then I must be able to as well. Just thought I would throw my experience with color down here. I was visually impaired from 3 till 12 years old, I was more towards the sighted side of the spectrum. I was able to see color but struggled with distinguishing similar colors. After the age of 12 I had a decent vision drop which affected my ability to focus light, which naturally affected my ability to see color. Colors had to be under bright light for me to be able to see it properly. A few years after that my vision got even worse, and I now could only really tell the diference between a light or dark color. I might be able to see a tinge of red or blue or something if the light is really good. But its been a year or two since I was able to properly see color. But this is the interesting part, I have a condition called synesthesia, there are a couple differnt forms of this look it up if your interested, but my form of it is that numbers, letters, words, names, and sometiems voices trigger a specific color in my mind. So if I think of 2 for example, I get a vivid red in my head. So even if I stop being able to see colors completely, I don’t think I’ll ever forget them. If you reached the end of this have a good day!
It's amazing that took your time to share your experiences and knowledge of the topic with us. Strength and happiness to you. Have a great great life ❤️.
I hope I don't sound arrogant but genuinely asking, how were you able to type this comment I u are blind? I'm not educated on blindness and in my mind I thought that blind people always see nothing at all, so it's amazing that I saw a blind person type a comment.

Lucy *and* Molly *and* Joy?! I've not had the pleasure of the other lady's content, assuming she too is a TH-camr, but I've never seen a collab between three TH-camrs who inspire me before!
When I’m feeling around I don’t think of colour, I have to consciously think about it if I want to remember it. My dreams are really vivid especially when I’m on painkillers. I went blind in 2013 and I am 8 1/2 years Blind. Who won the Blind fight at the end? LOL
What a neat bunch of ladies, it’s interesting to hear how it is for you, I’m sad with you, you don’t experience this anymore but I’m also inspired that despite these things you find other things in life to be of value and importance... i imagine life changes and we change as our circumstances do and how we deal with them... I am encouraged... you’re all beautiful by the way!
All of you are so pretty, I also just wanted to add :) You also all have your wardrobe and looks together when I’m sighted and barely have any of that together every day 😶😶😶
I agree! They look great but I'm honestly wondering how they know what to pick out and what they're wearing and all that. I was also looking at Lucy's nails and now I'm wondering like what if you go somewhere and they actually do a bad job? How would you even know?
I just realised why you seemed so familiar! "Fox in the snow" if I'm correct. I hope things are well there! Now I can really understand how that imagery must have really helped after explaining how you see colour.
Ah I’d love to see Lucy use one of these virtual goggle things, where if she wears them (I think) it sends a signal to the brain so she can see through them. Seen a mother use it in TH-cam recently.
This is so cool to hear! I was blind until I was 11, I had a ton of surgeries & gained my sight in the fourth grade & it was overwhelming!! I could see colors when I was blind, but not the shape of things unless they were right up under my nose... the world is so big!!! Im 32 now & it still astonishes me how different life is sighted
Aww they are so adorable.. They have similarities and differences and it's very distinct and unique to each of them.. Love you Lucy, thank you for sharing this things to us
My biggest fear as i am losing my sight is to forget my sons face my wifes face and that illl never be able to see my grand babies. It makes me sad but it makes me appreciate every moment more.
You are so brave! I get really sad whenever I think about not seeing anything thankfully im fortunate enough to have my sight but whenever I think about being blind I always think about you and how positive, kind and brave you are. Stay safe❤😊
This is wonderful because it really reminds us that all people are individuals with their own unique experiences even if they belong to a group that shares a particular characteristic and why it’s vital to listen to each person to find out how THEY define themselves.
I love looking into this kind of thing in slighted people too, people actually have really significantly varying levels of like, being able to visualize things or even try to recall scents and textures and things. Super cool stuff.
I deeply appreciate you putting yourself out there for us. The awareness to the ups and downs to blindness and the many questions I have had answered has been a great boon! I myself struggle with being out going and have always thought it rude to ask blind folks about thier experience.
when i worked at a yarn store one of our most prolific clients is blind but was always so particular about colour! of course touch was always the biggest factor though, but she made a lot for other people so made sure to match their preferences
All of you guys seem so cool and fun and like you had fun talking!! Very interesting to hear how everyone perceives color differently based on experience. Also I want to adopt the lady in the back she seems like she would be like a cool artsy aunt 😂🥰
I love how Molly is so about fashion and yet only thinks of colours as a concept. Like wow! I can see the colours and I sick at fashion but she nails her outfits everytime 😂
I’m just like, how is everyone dressed with so much style, makeup, color, hair dye? They look so good! I just grab the first thing in my closet and I can see and my makeup application is so bad, I can’t even draw a straight line. 😭I can’t imagine doing these things without light (or glasses) and turning out well…
You guys are so gorgeous! It’s rlly nice that you guys talk abt this online bc it can make other feels better for being blind or having any other sense lost or disability ❤️ love you guys!!
Wow this was really interesting! I can’t imagine the world without color especially as an artist. I didn’t even realize that molly was there until the end where I recognized her voice!!
Very interesting! I wonder if it is tied in with that thing that went around a while back about how some people tend to visualise things in general and see a picture in their mind, while others just have an idea and don't actually "see" it in their mind
"I don't think of color at all anymore" and her outfit is ON POINT with matching nails. I am stunned. And envious because I am nowhere near as fashionable.
this reminds me of an old idea i had, where i could try describing certain things, such as texture or scents or colors, by using like vibes? like instead of saying "the lemon tasted sour" i'd say "the lemon tasted really tight and yellow" as an example :0
The “I see nothing” at the end was perfect 🤣🤣
FRR tho
Ikr lol

I was to make this exact comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She sounded like a cry for help
