Sparkling(yeah. it is..), Dynamic, Unexplainable

3. What is the hardest thing to do being blind or visually impaired?
In general, being independent. This is improved by practice though.
In specific, I find socialising is the hardest. I feel being more informative and knowing about myself can overcome this.

You don't look blind!!? (yeah.. i'm faking, that's my hobby)

NO. not as of now..

Welcome to the club. Lets practice kicking something on our way.
Some altered genes doesn't make you any less to anyone.

8. What is one piece of advice you would you give to a sighted person about interacting with a person who is blind or visually impaired?
Ask before you do something that you believe as a help.
Try to empathise. Don't ever patronise.
