Love: A Crippling Blindspot


 Happy Valentine's Day people! I've got a new post for you. Expect another sometime in this next day. Special treat! Besides... what's Valentine's Day without some bitter romantic blogging? :)


The phone’s ringing again. Your phone has lit up with yet another text, facebook has a new inbox. What does it say this time? I want you back, baby I didn’t mean it like that, I’ve been thinking about you lately or any of the other phrases that ex that continually bothers you can come up with. Everybody has that person, whether it is an ex, someone you used to like, hookup buddy, or maybe just even the thought of a person, that is repeatedly hunting you down. The sad thing is majority of the time, we take them back. We listen to the excuses which in time will most likely wear away and become nothing. Why? Because I believe that love is blind. And no, not in that romantic, gooey Shakespeare sense. Love is so blinding, it leads us to forget all the things that have happened in the past, because we are feeling the need to be swept off our feet. All it takes is a few coaxing words and actions and then: hook, line, and sinker. We have a winner, and the ex is back for another round of lies, confusion, or just plain old heartbreak. So I ask this of you all, as hard as it may be, to not pick up the phone. I know that this person, or even the thought of loving this person again at one point in time brought you joy; I’m not saying that it’s something to regret completely. But keep in mind that this relationship, fantasy, whatever you will it to be, ended for a reason, and one of those reasons was because of the pain. I can guarantee you that 99.9 percent of the time, you will look back on this moment. Maybe, just maybe that moment will be the happiest of your life. Maybe it works out. But keep this in mind: love should NOT be blind. Love should see all, because loving someone isn’t becoming blind to their insecurities, faults, or flaws. Love is an all-seeing eye that has seen you at your very worst, and loves you regardless and because you are made that way.
