Kind of a weird question: You haven't always been visually impaired so do you think it is harder for someone to start off blind or to start off with vision and have it deteriorate?

Personally I think the latter because you can't miss what you have never known and depending on when you lose your vision and how much you lose it is much harder to adapt in adulthood than childhood.

For me one of my worst nightmares would be losing my vision. I don't know how I could cope since I love movies, photographs, visual arts and great scenery too.
