YOU GUYS – There’s An Update On The Chick Who Ripped Out Her Own Eyeballs.

I don’t know what it was about this story that fascinated me so much, other than perhaps I CANNOT IMAGINE how a person could rip out their own eyeballs, but yeah.  This was a story I made Producer Rob cover on our show one day.  Take a listen.

If you recall, shortly after we got off the air that day, Daisy and I had a gif war on Facebook with eyeballs, and it was the greatest thing ever. If you missed it, don’t miss it twice. LOOK AT IT RIGHT HERE.

And now? You’ll be pleased to know that the chick who ripped out her own eyeballs and who is now blind, says that life is more beautiful than ever now.

According to that sourcelink, 20 year old Kaylee Muthart ripped out her eyeballs because she was on a meth-induced psychotic trip. She believed, while she was tripping out, that dead people were stuck in their graves and the only way to get them out and release them to God was to sacrifice her eyeballs to God.

Here’s a bit of her explanation:

‘It was scary, I didn’t understand what God wanted of me, but it made me feel a sense of righteousness that I had to be the one to do it. And I was glad to do it because I’ve always had a big heart and nobody’s ever giving me that love back,’ she said.

She said she felt like she was running out of time to ‘save the world’ and was madly searching for an acquaintance. Feeling short on time, she twisted out her eyes for the sacrifice.

‘I proceeded to pull out my eyes with my bare hands and twisted them, and pulled them, and popped them. I told the pastor who showed up, “Pray for me, I want to see the light, pray for me.”‘

And now that she has recovered from her injuries (except for no the no longer having eyeballs part), she is drug free after having an extended stay at a psychiatric facility. She went home from the facility on March 1, and she’s learning to navigate the world without sight.

‘It’s the same life, but I’m just learning everything in a new way,’ she said.

‘Life’s more beautiful now, life’s more beautiful than it was being on drugs. It is a horrible world to live in,’ she added.

‘I’ll forget I’m blind sometimes because I know what’s around me. Not down to a tee, but I know what my mom’s house looks like,’ she said learning to adapt to her new sensory abilities.

‘You still see, but you don’t see with your eyes, it’s hard to explain because I don’t even understand it myself,’ she said.

She even maintains a sense of humor about the whole thing:

Reflecting upon the incident she said: ‘When I do something, I go big or go home… obviously. Humor is something that gets me by, laughing, music, that day itself.’

She’s got a terrific attitude about the whole thing, actually. But let this be a lesson to everyone.
