Love at First Sight?
One might think they've experienced love at first sight.
I know they're wrong. I can tell you a couple of things about true love: One, it's stupid. Two, it's not real. Three, it's absurd. Four....it's stupid.
You cannot simply fall madly in love by catching a glimpse of a stranger. When you see a person wearing non-attractive clothes, and has extreme skin problems(this is just an example), you do not feel love. However, that person could've been your true love. But of course, in your head, it isn't meant to be, since the person's not attractive. However, if you walk by the most gorgeous person you've ever seen, the perfect girl/guy, of course you think, oh he's the one for me.
See, that's just the thing. Love at first sight isn't fair. Have you ever wondered why people think they've experienced love at first sight, but that on a clearly attractive person? I do all the time. You don't know the person at all, and you immediately make a.ssumptions and judgments about them.
In all my life, and in all the movies, I've never seen a sight such as a person falls in love with an unattractive one during love at first sight. Why? Because it's never happened before.
Sexy, hot, pretty, cool, popular. That's the type people in love at first sight think they've fallen in love. Which they haven't. For Pete's sake, they wouldn't even know that person's name, let alone love him/her!
Ugly. Fat. Disgusting. Unpopular. Weird. That's people whom don't trigger love at first sight.
Sensing a pattern here? Yeah.
And that's the part that makes me cry. Innocent girls fall for stupid, good-looking jerks. Great guys fall for empty-headed, pretty girls. And the worst part, the ones whom aren't considered attractive. They get kicked around, made fun of, and left unwanted, like trash on the side of a curb. When really, they are the ones worthy of love.
I'm not finished. I hate to admit it, but I am just as stupid as the people I talk about are. I fall for the hot guy. I ignore the science geek trying to talk to me.
But, I'm trying. I'm trying to pull away from the attractive magnet's force, pulling me down, causing me to act like a fool. Spending months, thinking about one guy. And in the end, he's a jerk.
So, I guess that's the moral of my story. Love at first sight isn't real. ......unless you're blind.
Sincerely,
One Who's Been Hurt by Love at First Sight.

So true. Unfortunantly. People who have 'love at first sight' aren't real. I'm sorry.

I liked what you wrote here, but personally I don't think it applies to everyone. :) I'm fairly certain I've fallen in love (or something close), and it doesn't always have to be with the hot buff dude who's extremely hot. lol I think I'm not making sense here, but I applaud your work. It's nicely written and it was inspiring to read. I think inspiring is the right word? Out of curiosity, did this happen to you or is not connected at all to your personal life? :o ~Det |

Det- Wow, that was very kind of you! Your words really touched me. <33 I'm in writer's block at the moment and randomly started writing this. I didn't think it was good, let alone inspiring! I even thought about not posting it. You made my work seem worth it. Thank you. Yes, this happened to me. Sadly, I'm just as blind as any fool out there. I've thought I was in love with a guy. (little did I know, 20 other girls thought the same) Had I spoken a word to him? Nope. Not one word, and I thought it was fate between us. Sometimes, I look back and I can't believe how sensless I was. Every morning I would wake up, and think, 'Would he like my outfit? Or would he like my hair?' :( I hope that I've learned from that mistake. That's kind of what inspired this thread. (I'm using your word >:U) I just wanted people to see what I saw. And, yeah, I know that people don't always fall in love with the hot buff dude who's extremely hot(lol), I just meant that that usually happened in love at first sight. Not love in general. But "sight" love(if that makes sense?), how you haven't even talked to the person and you think you're in love.

No problem. I don't often read things on the Writing forum, but I appreciate good literature. xD And by good I don't mean classics, because I can't stand most of them (which is a shame ;c) but things that really make me think. Like this. xD And, now I get what you're talking about. c: My 'love', which I guess you could call it, developed after a few years of spending time with this guy (though to be honest I almost never speak with him ;~;), so you couldn't really call it love at first sight. But I'm sorry about what happened to you, though I didn't do anything. And sorry about saying that. o_o; Just, I feel stupid apologizing for things I didn't do but then I feel crass for not offering any condolences or whatever. D: So, like, ignore my inability to write things out clearly (I type as I think...o-o;), and just know that you're an awesome writer that I didn't know could write so amazingly inspiringly. |

I actually didn't know there even was a Writing Forum. (shame on me!) But, I was bored, just randomly exploring the forums, and there it was! And, yes, I understand what you mean about the classics. Most of the time, it really bothers me how they're written. They have sentences like '"Goodbye", said I.' That distracts me from the actual meaning of the writing. Also, I don't really like books or stories with a connection to history, my least favorite subject. Yeah. It seems so easy to talk to your "love"(hence the quotation marks) in your mind and in the movies, but in real life, I freeze. Or act really strange. And self-consious. And, I like how you type, typing what you think. It's sort of how I tried to write the story(if you can call it that). You didn't do anything, you're right, but it's nice to have someone reading my work and giving feedback. It lets me know how I should write. And thanks again, for the praise. Inspiringly. Love that word now! xD

I love history, actually. But it's mostly the kind of history that involves epic battles that don't use guns or firearms (my least favourite kind of weapon) but swords and that stuff. Which is why I've started to destroy my biography on Genghis Khan, because I find him so awesome. xD Same with romances set in the Tudor time. So cliche, but there are so many good books written for that time. What I can't understand are those romances like Pride and Prejudice etc., which feel silly to me, or they're just very dull. :x And I have that issue. I mean, I blush all the time around the guy I like. :c Or I stutter. My mom says it's painfully obvious that I like him, which is very awkward. xD Also, thanks RootBeerLover! I love the way you write as well. c: Though I've noticed that many times people don't know what I'm talking about when I speak how I think, which is very...convulted to say the least. :P |
