Trusty sunglasses

"I just love having these on hand wherever I go. They’ve seen what I’ve seen. I just like imagining all the different places they’ve been with me and how much they’ve gone through. I found them randomly online a few years ago, and that’s something I like about them — it was not an informed purchase at all, but I’ve loved them enough to stick with the same pair this whole time. I think I’ve had, like, three lens replacements at this point."
