l_ve is blind.

When people say that love is blind, it doesn't only mean that you look past the flaws of the one you love. It doesn't only mean that you won't be bothered with his/her appearance. Well in the negative context it plainly means: Aiyoh she must be blind! There's nothing good about that guy lor! But there's more to that than meets the eye.

I think love makes us blind to many many things. And many many people around us. Maybe even people or things who are more worth our time.

Finding excuses and constantly deluding yourself is so last century. Aren't you tired of that already? I sure am.

I want to be able to see things clearly. From a third person's perspective. To put myself outside of the situation for awhile. But wait, is there really a situation? or is it all just in my head.

I think it's time to stop being blinded and start living for yourself.

I dug out this really old notebook in which i used to write about all my crushes. It was a unbearable to read. Can you imagine, i was 'in love' with this guy whom i've never even spoken to. we only communicated via sms.

and yes, i was 'in love'. aaahh. -cues soppy romantic music-

i mean.. WERT?!!?!?!??! How could I fall in love with someone I haven't even spoken to?? Being shy was not an excuse.

Those were the days. I guess a part of me is still like that now. Always dreaming of happily-ever-afters.

But it's really time to take that blindfold off. Just like loving somebody is a choice, not loving somebody is a choice too. Just like falling in love takes courage, falling out of love takes lots of gusto as well.

Sidenote:

I've always complained about being an open book. It's like, I'm no longer interesting anymore. People like mystery. And yet, i am, but an open book. I don't need people to pry. But today I realised that although i may be an open book, i can be deep. And there are layers you have to plough through before you can finally get to know what kind of a person i am. It just depends on whether you have the patience to get to the very last page of this open book.
