More than meets the eye
I wanted to blog about this when I got home since B is hogging my laptop now, until I remembered my handy iPhone app (1 more point to the iPhone, B).
So I was reading the issue of Men's Health that he bought and came upon this article under the "Her Say" section, titled "More Than Meets The Eye" by a certain very insightful Faye Mui.
So in essence, the author shares her insights on finding the right one, and her solution to finding it - to stop looking. In many ways, I find myself being able to understand and relate to the points that she tries to put across in her article. Not just to myself per se, but in what I encounter with the people around me as well.
We're all at an age where love is an issue that has definitely lingered amongst our thoughts for at least a while now, and for a lucky few, they get to experiment with it and get a taste of what being in love feels like. But for many others, love is a feeling that is as elusive as owning that Louis Vuitton bag or the latest, most amazing pair of Christian Louboutins (yes I'm talking about me, only well, those are more elusive than love). And it's not that we girls, or guys, don't go looking for love. Well, I did, once before, I'm as guilty as you are when it comes to trying to look for that perfect Mr Right.
But like what the author says, "Mr/Miss Right really isn't who we think or want them to be. Because if we stared hard enough at our preciously crafted list, we would eventually realise Mr and Miss Right are about as two-dimensional as Ken and Barbie." And this is so true. We keep seeking out that perfect someone, that even when someone less perfect, but meant for you in ways you never realised, comes along, you're just gonna look past him/her and never realised what you've just missed out on.
If you really want to find love, then stop following your mind in it's pursuit of that Mr/Ms Perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect someone. Perfection is built on being able to love and accept that person's imperfections.
And so my friends, to those who are still searching, stop. It'll come to you when you least expected it. And to those who have given up, don't. There is someone out there in this world for you, and he's running to you as fast as he can. He's sorry for keeping you waiting, but promises he will get there, and he will make it up to you. :)
Love is all around you, as long as you're willing to accept that.
