Eyed.

My Arabic professor told me I had “frozen eyes,” and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t referring to their color. Frozen eyes. I wonder what that means. I don’t think it’s a compliment. Nothing he says seems to translate quite correctly, but I’m still disturbed. What does it mean if my eyes are frozen? They can’t move? They’re glazed over? Maybe they’re focused on something so far away it makes them hurt. Maybe that something is so small and so specific that they miss out on the other beautiful things that surround them. Maybe my world isn’t all there is.
