It definitely isn’t easy. Take it from someone who is visually impaired and has been that way for 19 years. Technically not a full 19 because I lost my side at two years old, but that’s how it feels. Funny though, your biggest fear is losing your sight, my biggest fear would be regaining my sight. When being visually impaired is all you know, it becomes difficult to imagine not being that way anymore. Plus it introduced me to all these types of sports that I never would’ve known about otherwise, so that’s another cool thing.

I started losing my vision when I turned 18 years old and was officially announced as legally blind back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. Though, honestly, my eyesight had never been very good to begin with. I was myoptic (near-sighted) and had worn glasses for as long as I could remember...meaning I was already visually impaired to begin with. It could just still be corrected back then with the help of glasses, contacts, or surgery. That's no longer an option for me, now. Anyways, when I first began to lose my vision it was devastating to me as I was a hobby artist, wrote fanfiction, loved to read, and was a very big arts and crafts person...and as I lost vision the ways in which I partook in those hobbies previously no longer worked for me. I had a period of time in which I was grieving the loss of my eyesight - which is perfectly natural, of course. But you don't really get a choice in some things in life and this was one of those times for me. All you can do is keep going and to slowly figure out ways to continue with what you love or to find new things to enjoy. Now I honestly can't even imagine what it would be like to have my vision again and the thought of it returning is actually just as terrifying as the thought of losing it had been for me in the beginning. Honestly, there's not much to it. You just continue on with your life and adapt little by little until it becomes your new norm. To me it's comparable to changing your schedule or moving into a new house, in a way. You get used to it.

Mine, too. I am terribly frightened of darkness.

@@elijahhedgemondakasupersai1075 Elijah, believe me, most people in this world are blind; not because they cannot see, but because they choose not to. And if you regained your sight, you would be shocked at what you would see.

You underestimate the power of the brain - once the brain cannot rely on visual cues it redirects way more power to auditory sensations.

it was fun

@dolandarkerest761 that's right

@@ghumoindia3436 yeah

Okay, but like, who got all the secrets??? I'm proud to say I've finally 100%ed it, including things that shouldn't count, like minigames

InstaBlaster.

But they have a coach who can tell them that they are cheering them on.🎉

You can join a practice squad but to play in a tournament u have to be visually impaired.

TBH I'm VI but still have most of my vision. I've played on state (Australian) level - so for sure you don't need to be legally blind to play!

@@cora-illus hiii i am VI too I started watching goalball in this Paralympics and want to give it a try but don't know if my city has it

Candi Soda No the players throw it and you don’t really know where it’s going it makes it more tense.

It has to be thrown underhand and bounce at least once before it crosses to the other team's side.

The rules would have to be changed significantly, otherwise most matches would have a score of 0-0 (maybe at max there'd be 1 or 2 goals)

No.
