I have never been in love with someone— not in a familial way but in a romantic way. So, it is hard for me to believe if “love at first sight” is true or not because I have not experienced it in the first place. Yes, I find people with pretty face attractive and intimidating, but saying that I was “in love at first sight” do not match what I feel. I think seeing an attractive person is more of an “amazed and stunned” feeling for me rather than being in love. Because this always makes me wonder how they managed to be confident and show how beautiful they can be despite the struggle to adhere to society’s definition of beauty.
However, if we talk about the wonders of the world, that is when I believed the “love at first sight”. The first time I watched the sunrise and set? I was completely astounded. My first sight of the green hills will stay forever in my mind. And the first time I swam at the beach and stare at the night sky? I still cannot get over it until now to the point that it has become the main escape with my friends to get away from our academic responsibilities.
As someone who’s trying to explore everything, I think it is not a shame that I have never been romantically “in love at first sight” at all. Even though I have standards in terms of physical attributes still, no one has caught my attention because they did not pass the one thing that matters the most— the attitude. This made me think that I am not rushing things. That it is fine to not involve myself in that kind of relationship easily and foolishly.
Thus, it would be greater to explore the beauty of the world first because through this, I believe we can build different perspectives of what real beauty feels like.
