At first sight

You meet a lot of people in your life, but there are very few who catch your attention at first sight. ‘Love at first sight’ is a well-known adage. But does it really happen? Has it ever happened to you?

You meet someone, or perhaps just have a glimpse of them as they pass by, and your heart skips a beat. In no time, you start thinking about them. Despite repeated efforts, there is no control over your thoughts, and a seemingly random person becomes a top priority in your mind.

Wherever you go, you start looking out for them. You see perfection in them. In everything you see, or everyone that you meet, you try to find a shadow of that person in them. And when you finally meet that person again, even though they do not turn out to be like the one you had imagined them to be, you are ready to make every compromise possible only to accommodate them in your life.

First sight is quite impactful indeed.

Bitter-sweet fights

Angry? Naw yeah.

Have you ever liked someone to an extent that you cannot stay mad at them for too long? If yes, you are very fortunate.

We meet a lot of people in our life, but there are very few who stay close to our thoughts. Fights are inevitable, for the reason that argument and disagreement forms the base of human thought process. If we do not disagree with each other, the world surely will be a calmer place, but one with no scope of improvements.

I see arguments and disagreements as perfect forums for opinions to emerge. While a particular thought might seem outrightly incorrect to you, there are serious chances that you might change your perspective towards that thought later.

You argue with the one you love over an issue. Obviously, in the heat of the moment, you put in arguments to prove your point somehow. Later, when the tensions drain down, the entire argument keeps running in your head. And this is the time when you realise that maybe, maybe, maybe the other person was correct too – not to entirety, but to some extent.

You feel like approaching that person to talk again, because they mean to you. One odd heated discussion cannot take anything away from the fact that they actually hold a special position in your life. But then there is this thing called ego, which holds you back.

This feeling, this very feeling of wanting to talk to your loved one, but also not wanting to talk to them because you want them to talk to you first, is just amazing. I find it cute, and this is what makes the fights bitter-sweet.
