This topic is of interest to me these days, mostly due to the fact that I’ve encountered love this past year. Yes, love has finally come to me instead of my coming to love. In other words, people have had crushes on me, believe it or not…I know I’m ugly, but still people have crushes on me…at first sight….but is that love? Or do they simply lust me? I mean truthfully, my body is pretty attractive, my face is descent maybe a little above average, but the way I dress is horrifying!
I can’t completely see how someone would fall in love with me at first sight. Usually the “sight” indicates the face and like I said, my face is decent. I’m not pretty…nor am I ugly….so I’m confused here…but then again if I think about those people I’ve supposedly “falling in love” at first sight, their faces technically were not “attractive” to the friends I told about the crush.
I still don’t get it though. How could anyone fall for someone at first sight? People usually develop crushes on other people based on the face, not the body…and I usually associate the body with lust. I don’t know what I associate the face with, but I’m pretty sure it’s not love.
Then again, as I think about all the fairytales such as The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, etc., the Princes fell in love with the princesses or the other way around at first sight and supposedly the Disney directors are espousing an image of love at first sight that it actually exists. I mean look at The Little Mermaid per se, Ariel looks at the handsome Eric one eye and decides that she wants to become a human. And once she’s a human, she can’t even talk to him so technically he can’t get to know her personality, but there’s still a scene in the movie where Eric is about to kiss Ariel. And then there’s Sleeping Beauty. How the hell does the Prince have the guts to kiss a girl who is sleeping and consider himself in love? These fairytales simply do not make sense….
Maybe I should just wake up. There’s no such thing as love at first sight…no such thing as destiny or fate for each other…People always say that love will come to you, but I’m starting to not believe that phrase…maybe it was just a coincidence that I met Hang because nothing is happening to bring us together. I’m serious…no matter how much I want it to be, divine intervention is a necessity…So if there is no divine intervention, as of right now, I’m finding it hard to believe in fairytales, love at first sight, or even that love will ever come to me…
