Beauty?

For the first of my thoughts, I’d like to talk about something more personal and hope it can relate to you. It has to do with the perception of beauty.


I noticed that when I look at the girl I like, she just... glows in my vision. Her eyes sparkle, and I can’t pull away (at least not until I realize what I’m doing and I get embarrassed). Even when she got her new haircut and looked awful, I found that I eventually started to like her physical appearance just as much as her old one.

Does love blind? Because my other friends have agreed that she doesn’t look as great as before, but it’s not like she’s ugly either. My opinion gradually changed over time, and as I came to see her more, she simply seemed to get more and more attractive, especially as I got to talk with her this year more than I ever got to in the past (including all 7 years we’ve known one another). 

Maybe it has more to do with this emotional connection than anything else. We’ve never had so many classes together before (and by “so many”, I mean 2), and it’s a new experience to be able to talk with her every day for 50 or so minutes. So we’ll see. Certainly, things might become more clear as second semester approaches and I’m not in any of her classes anymore. 

Meh.
